I am so appreciative that you have brought ATL to an audio podcast format. I simply could not afford the time to sit at a monitor and watch a video format nor the data streaming costs to listen to a video when I am working outdoors. Thank you!
Great interview, Gordon Chang is so informative and spot on as to his view of China’s intention of destroying America and our corrupt politicians continue to allow them to expand unchallenged. I totally support Trump but on China & Russia I think he is misjudging both, the only thing they understand is strength. Keep up the good fight Gordon.
Excellent show. Jan is very well informed and his interviews are in depth and educates listeners better than other podcasters. I listen to a lot of different podcasts, and this is very educational in my opinion, very worth your time.
Incredibly insightful and probative interview with Kyle Bass. Thank you.
Regardless of whether you agree or disagree - this program is a thoughtful and intelligent conversation about any and all important issues both social and political. I cannot recommend it enough.
