    Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist - 574
    Jun 17 2024

    March 18, 1990. Boston, Massachusetts. In the early morning hours of March 18, 1990, a security guard at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum buzzed in two men dressed as police officers. Those two men revealed themselves to be thieves, who quickly tied up both of the guards. They stole 13 pieces of art including works by Rembrandt, Degas, and Vermeer. Despite a large reward offer from the museum and over 30 years of investigation by the FBI, none of the artwork has been recovered. How were these men able to pull off the largest art heist in the world?

Fair reporting

I'm definitely against the death penalty in all cases regardless of the crime, and I have a healthy distrust of law enforcement, prosecutors, and judges, but I think these two give a fair assessment of each case. I do like to hear other people's opinions on the justice system, even if I don't share them. And I haven't delved into the older cases because most hot takes on any podcast that's older than ten years is gonna be cringe, especially where race and law enforcement are concerned, but these past few years, I've enjoyed. Keep it up. My evening dishes thank you.

Had high hopes

I’m always looking for a podcast that gets great reviews and is voluminous so I was excited to start Generation Why. I couldn’t get past three episodes. I felt like they didn’t bring much of anything new to their chosen topics and the guys were just painful. It’s like dragging rocks to get them to make their points- that weren’t that insightful. I skipped ahead a dozen shows to see if they picked up speed as the season went on- nope.
