Popular Reviews of The Opportunist

great first season so far

I love true crime and I love to listen to ppl who discuss it. I suggest that you investigate the death of Kenyon Johnson in Valdosta, Ga. This high school student was found dead in a wrestling mat at the high school. The camera that would tell who the last person was at the location was ERASED! There were 2 boys who were questionable. They were wrestlers-championship wrestlers. There dad was a man of means in the town who had some political pull. This case is very sad, I believe those two wrestlers killed Kenyon or caused his death. I believe it was a hate crime because Kenyon was “feminine” and black.

The first season is turning out to be amazing. I love that the host is approaching this story from a position of compassion and curiosity, not judgement.

It is a good podcast, well presented and professional sounding, but I just listened to an episode where there were 4 adverts just dropped throughout, in the middle of sentences. They should create a space for the adverts and put them all together otherwise I won't listen anymore.

Well researched, listenable delivery, compelling episodes.

Loved the first two seasons. I find people like Sherry Shriner repellant and fascinating.

A great on-going podcast about opportunity and people. The highlight of the show is how you can sometimes see normal people slowly turn given the right opportunity. However, the long ads in-between really hurt the show at some points.
