Popular Reviews of Pressure Cooker

Not sure who to contact, but this is a CBC podcast, and not a Spotify exclusive.I really enjoyed this show. The episodes were so carefully crafted to tell this really compelling story. Even though I'm Canadian, I never heard about this foiled terrorist plot before, and it was all very interesting. The podcast clearly had access to all recordings submitted in the case (undercover), which means you get to listen to the real version, not a recounting. The pod follows this arc: John and Amanda are foiled placing pressure cooker bombs in the park where the Canada Day celebrations will be taking place. How did they get to radicalized? And was their radicalization real and natural, or...induced ? Go in blind, and you'll enjoy it! Make up your own opinion on the outcome, but I agree with the judge.

This is an interesting 5-part story about a couple of barely functioning people who get caught up in drug addiction, Islam, and, ultimately, a police domestic terrorist investigation. The series seems to suggest that the police operation was at best questionable, and at worst may have been entrapment, but I think it does a good job of leaving it up to the listener to decide.
