  • A genocide apologist

    Was disappointed to listen to the episode on Gaza and the Ukraine and hear Darren spouting zionist propaganda. Israel have been ethnically cleansing Palestine since 1948, some further education would serve you well Darren.

  • Audiobook?

    Hi Darren, thank you for the podcast. I only found out about Allan, his book ‘fear of abandonment…’ and your podcast after his death. As an extension of your commitment to his legacy, have you considered creating an audio recording of his book?
