3.1 out of 5 stars from 20 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.

  • Needs improvement

    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.”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iran MOCKS Trump, Says U.S. “Negotiating with Itself”
Q: What does Iran want from its nuclear program beyond building weapons?
Iran seeks the option to enrich on its own soil as a matter of sovereign right and strategic autonomy, including a threshold capability that deters invasion while avoiding weaponization, according to Sina Azhodi.
Is Politics Driving You Insane? This Theory Explains Why
Q: Can mass politics return on the left without triggering a dangerous right-wing backlash?
The guest argues that a genuine return of mass politics on the left could provoke a stronger, potentially scarier mass political response on the right, making careful institutional design and a thoughtful relationship to the public sphere essential to avoid societal destabilisation.
Is Politics Driving You Insane? This Theory Explains Why
Q: What is hyperpolitics and how does it differ from post-politics or mass politics?
Hyperpolitics describes a surge in political activity and awareness without a parallel reembedding in robust, long-lasting institutions; it combines high politicisation with weak formal structures, leading to repeated cycles of mobilisation without durable institutional channels.
Iran Is Playing the Long Game to Exhaust the U.S. — So Far It’s Working
Q: Has Iran effectively used time to its advantage, and what does “winning” look like for Iran vs. the U.S. and Israel?
Iran is banking on sustaining pressure long enough to force negotiations that meet its terms, while the U.S. and Israel would need to weigh the escalating costs of further escalation against the political and economic costs of a negotiated settlement.
Iran Is Playing the Long Game to Exhaust the U.S. — So Far It’s Working
Q: From your perspective, what has changed most in the past weeks of the conflict?
Iran's resilience and focus on global energy markets have shifted the dynamic from a straightforward military confrontation to a broader economic and geopolitical contest, making a decisive U.S. victory unlikely in the near term.
