    I have managed to listen to all podcasts with no problem via Apple and 21 C Wire. First found Patrick on the excellent UK Column and his slot on TNT. Love the Freddie Ponton perspectives from France and Basil Valentine too, Please keep on with your brilliant work, telling it as it is in the face of an emaciated and appallingly neutered MSM environment.

UKC News: On Location in Tehran, Iran with Patrick Henningsen 13th February, 2025.

SUNDAY WIRE: EP 563 'The Line In The Water'
Q: What have you heard and what are you expecting to happen next?
The participants have flown back while some remain in custody, and there's a heightened risk of mistreatment, especially for high-profile activists like Greta Thunberg.
