  • Disgusting & Disgraceful

    The Diana episodes are just appalling. The worst sort of irresponsible garbage. The idea that the British government conspired to kill Diana with the, erm, French government, is obvious gibberish. This conspiracy apparently involves hundreds of people in at least two countries. The editorialising at the end about poor, put-upon Diana, almost made me throw-up. He seems to forget that this idiocy requires one to believe that her childrens’ grandmother conspired to murder their mother, in collabora... more

  • Avoid. There are plentiful warning signs that this is a poorly researched podcast.

    I checked out the three episodes about the Alexander Litvinenko assassination. This murder is perhaps the best-documented poisoning of all time. It was a disturbing listen but for all the wrong reasons.

    Unforgivably, Niall Cooper gets the timeline of events on the day of Litvinenko’s murder confused. That’s a fundamental error. Yet he claims to have based the episode on the record of the public inquiry. If our host really wanted to be accurate, it would be a trivial matter to re-record and corr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Charlie Kirk
Q: What are your overall impressions of the official narrative regarding Charlie Kirk's assassination?
The official narrative appears absurd, lacking concrete evidence supporting Tyler Robinson's guilt.
Interview: Tim Norman and Kit Klarenberg: The Sturgess Inquiry and the "novichok" narrative
Q: Now, in your view, what were the major discrepancies or issues surrounding the inquiry?
Despite political pressure to do so, once again, scientists refused to confirm that the novichok used in Amesbury was of Russian origin, or even that it was the same as had been used in Salisbury.
Interview: Tim Norman and Kit Klarenberg: The Sturgess Inquiry and the "novichok" narrative
Q: Could you give us just a real quick overview, just a sort of introductory overview of the Sturgess Inquiry?
The Sturgess Inquiry was not something that I think the British establishment had wanted to hold. I think they were sort of forced to do it by the legal case that Dawn Sturgess' daughter took against the coroner's decision.
John Lennon Part 1
Q: How did you come to be interested in this case and how did you come to a very different conclusion from that commonly held belief about the slaying of Lennon?
The author became interested during the 2020 lockdown, having previously believed that Mark Chapman was a lone nut. Listening to a podcast suggesting a CIA link prompted further investigation into the various unanswered aspects surrounding Lennon's murder.
John Lennon Part 2
Q: What role did Gloria Chapman play in Mark Chapman's actions?
Gloria's actions, including purchasing tickets for Mark to return to New York after he previously expressed a desire to kill Lennon, raise questions about her awareness and potential complicity in the murder.
