3.1 out of 5 stars from 22 ratings
  • Ads on ads

    I really wanted to hear the interview with Steven Hassan, but the advertising totally chokes out the show and renders it unlistenable, like everyone is saying. Why even have a show if you’re going to let it sound so bad?

  • Too many ads

    Great content but hard to listen to because it’s overloaded with ads that disrupt the flow of the conversation. Much more ads than most podcasts have.

    Interesting guests, but the commercial interruptions are abrupt, frequent, and long enough to render the podcast unlistenable.

  • Yes, "The Truth" is not worthy of your attention. In agreement that they are pieced together from other podcasts. And the NUMBER of commercials, "Wow"!

    “[China] has taken away the power and hierarchy associated with monastic dominance but it hasn’t changed the lives of most Tibetan people in any fundamental way.”

    “It’s not a program of cultural genocide.”

    White scholar dispels western propaganda on Tibet. Tibetans should be thankful that the PLA liberated them from their own backwards culture. Tibetans that want self determination and autonomy don’t know what’s best for themselves! The political prisoners & the monasteries that were burned t... more

Burnham Unveils His Plan For Britain
Q: What is Burnham proposing with No. 10 North and devolution?

Trump BLINDSIDES His OWN Party
Q: What does Mallory McMorrow bring to the Michigan Senate race in terms of policy priorities?
She emphasizes AI regulation and safety, data-center rules, and a plan to tax AI usage to fund social programs and workforce training, aiming to protect workers while fostering local job growth.
Governments Do Capitalism WRONG – Here's How We Fix It
Q: How do you move from talking about the common good to actually delivering it through contracts and procurement?
By embedding explicit conditions in procurement and public finance that require investment aligned with defined social outcomes, ensuring that private sector profits are tied to measurable public benefits, and using governance tools that enable cross-ministerial collaboration and continuous learning rather than simple subsidies or bailouts.
Governments Do Capitalism WRONG – Here's How We Fix It
Q: What is the core idea of the five points of the compass for accountability?
The five points—clear direction and purpose, participant-led decision-making, shared knowledge, fair sharing of rewards, and strong transparency—work together to hold governments and private actors accountable and ensure that policy outcomes genuinely serve the common good rather than symbolically addressing it.
Keir Starmer RESIGNS, Streeting Backs Burnham For PM
Q: What's your analysis of why Keir Starmer failed quite so badly?
The guest explains that Starmer lacked a coherent, credible plan and was seen as duplicious and overly cautious, failing to articulate a long-term project beyond market reassurance and centrist positioning. The discussion emphasizes internal Labour dynamics, the left-right balance, and strategic choices around who should govern, including Ed Miliband as a potential chancellor option.
