- Could be good with another host
Like the concept but the host Adam Fleming just seems like a wet, wokey type and in that sense about 5 years out of date.

United States4 months ago Giving airtime to conspiracy nutters as if anything was to be gained by listening to their nonsense. There are attempts at fact checking, but not consistently. As a result, a lot of complete fantasy is left to stand as just another valid point of view.
Podcast Addict24 months agol- Truly balanced
I have only listened to one episode but what particularly impressed me was the balance and consideration in the questioning.
There was no headline grabbing or hyperbole which is rife in legacy media.
I genuinely didn’t know which theory the host supported himself and that’s fantastic.
Keen to tune in to more.
