We Saw the Devil is what happens when a Poli Sci degree, anger at current events, and a microphone are left unsupervised. Robin covers politics, power, media, culture, and true crime with receipts, rage, and zero patience for people who say "it's more complicated than that" about things that are not complicated.
This is not a "let's hear both sides" show. One side is frequently lying, and pretending otherwise is not journalism, it's stenography. You'll get the facts, the sourcing, the context, and exactly one livid woman getting progressively unhinged about all of it.
New episodes drop multiple times a week, wherever you get your podcasts. No paywall and no premium tier gatekeeping the good stuff.
