- Fantastic Podcast
A really insightful and well ran podcast, with two polite, respectful and good hosts in Matt and Chris, I have read some of the reviews on here about the podcast and the hosts and they are so far wide of the mark. Each topic is not only relevant to worldly scenarios and happenings but also so very interesting/informative. The guests are always great and a lot of the questions posed for the guests are answered in great detail too adding to the podcasts too. 5/5 for me, keep up the amazing work.

United Kingdoma month ago - CIA future?
No point getting so called experts in when there is so much evidence that clearly shows that the 9/11 commission report and its subsequent “review” are deeply flawed documents. The CIA is just another dept covering itself and has been proven to be corrupt many times. Why defend it? What garbage. Obviously Trump is a joke and a con artist but it doesn’t matter who’s in when the US government is such a corrupt system. Your senators can be bought and Scotus is corrupt. This is your problem. Trump j... more

Australia2 months ago - Very bias
Seem to have a bias view of what they’re talking about and also tends to talk about topics don’t really understand. For example, a Brit talking about US congressional and presidential authority and admitting he doesn’t know. Pretty high level take on extremely nuanced topics. Hard pass
Apple Podcasts1Good content, horrible host
United States3 months ago - Don’t trust the 4.1 star average.
There are far too many people rating the podcast 1 star because they don’t agree that certain people are lacking intelligence. Overall the podcast is awesome…if you can look past your own opinions.
