  • Great Pod, AND…

    Love this podcast, but the record show-and-tell at the top of every ep feels pretty indulgent. I enjoy watching the YouTube premieres for the chat, but always wish I could skip that 5-10 minutes. Even as a music lover, it gets tiring; I come for the bad hasbara commentary, which is hilarious and excellent.

  • Best Dark Comedy for these Dark (End-of?) Times

    I’m a huge fan of Bad Hasbara with the talented Matt Lieb & Daniel Maté- who can somehow make you laugh so you stop crying during the genocide of your time.

    Respite for those of us incapacitated by horror/grief during the Gaza Genocide & genocidal war against Lebanon, Syria, and now the core of the Axis of Resistance- Iran.

    We can all laugh for a moment as we possibly enter WWIII.

    It’s great that they ask us to donate to charities rather than their podcast.

    Great interviews of great guests- fro... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

188: Blow The Hell Out Of 'Em, with Andrea More
Q: How have you been since the last time you were on the show?
Andrea shares a personal update and reflects on the ongoing debates around the war, media narratives, and her work as a comedian engaging with political topics.
184: What About Bobsled, with Moe Tkacik
Q: What do you think motivates the Israeli bobsled PR incident and similar optics plays in national storytelling?
The discussion suggests that such incidents are often crafted to demonstrate inclusivity or to refute accusations of racism, but can backfire by exposing internal contradictions and weaponizing the debate around national identity and sports as a proxy for geopolitical tensions.
184: What About Bobsled, with Moe Tkacik
Q: How do you view the role of Tucker Carlson in challenging or validating these narratives?
Tucker Carlson is seen as a rare platform for rigorous follow-up questions that push guests to clarify their positions, potentially moving right-wing audiences toward more nuanced views on Israel and Gaza, while also provoking discourse about whether such journalism functions as genuine scrutiny or grift.
184: What About Bobsled, with Moe Tkacik
Q: What have you been investigating recently, Moe?
Moe describes deep dives into Epstein files, Latvian oligarch networks, and the intersections of media empires with financial intrigue, including the Maxwell and Luczanski connections, while highlighting how these threads illuminate broader themes in media manipulation and political power.
176: He's The DJ I'm The Rabbi, with Rabbi David Mivasair
Q: Can you tell us about Connecting Gaza?
