- Great!
Gavin Esler is superb. A professional interviewer tackling big global issues (and there are plenty of those!)

United Kingdom2 months ago - Why do all these white people / pundits pretend to be experts
Your last episode reflects a colonial view of the world. In the time of apartheid bringing out colonial types to comment on Biko & the racists in Govt, but not a word from the ANC. It is 1970, yet faith on being Anglo Saxon overrides the views of Ukrainians et al. Times up for this rubbish!
Apple Podcasts1MarfaChagin
Australia3 months ago - Informative
Some very informative episodes and insightful discussions. Also some pretty weak analysis at times. For example, what American constituency is going to be super impressed with Biden in an election year for getting more involved in Yemen? Maybe it sounds intelligent from a cynical British media point of view, but lacks insight into the current moment in world affairs.

When this show was called Doomsday Watch it was a dark-humoured and informative podcast with enlightening interviews. It was portentous that it appeared just before the invasion of Ukraine. more
