    The News We Need
    In a world of fast paced, breaking news, Tortoise stands out above the rest, as it methodically makes it’s way to the finish line, gathering info along the way. This is the kind of journalism we need more of in our world. Listen to Tortoise, you will not be disappointed.

    Very engaging
    Love love love Basia’s voice. So soothing as she comprehensively lays out the story. Her manner has heart without being emotional and compromising facts. More please :)

    Smear Merchant
    Your RFK episode is shameful. Typical smears by media propagandists. So pathetic.

    Decent Human Behaviour
    I sighed with relief when I heard that Luis Eduardo survived,but was so wrought with sadness when Emmanuel passed. This podcast is excellently well done, and the diligence of tortoise media shows.
