  • Typical FPM Stupidity

    I have listened to this podcast for a number of years and it never ceases to disappoint me. It is hard to stomach the stupidity of this podcast. In this episode, Ian Brenner who has always been a lightweight and has an abysmal track record just spouted nonsense. I do not mind people like Bremmer spouting his nonsense but I cannot stomach no pushback or hard questioning by the moderator. There are many issues which lend themselves to serious nuanced discussion. However, a high school civics class... more

  • Really?

    I get that Ravi is left-leaning and I can deal with that, but to openly call the conflict in Israel to the persecution of the Uyghurs makes him look ridiculous. Did the Uyghurs perpetrate a terrorist attack that killed 1,200 people, hiding in civilian areas?

  • Needs work

    Listen to the Foriegn Affairs interview instead. FP Live's interviews are somewhat weak. The music is childish and the host comes across as pouty and biased at times. Guests are good and informed. Could be a great show but major changes required.

  • A New Low for FPM

    It is hard to believe that a serious publication could downplay the massacre of Christians by Islamic groups but FPM did just that. It is hard to believe such moral degenerates and dishonest players are welcome in polite society but FPM has reached a new low.

  • Well Informed

    He gets relevant guests and doesn't sugar coat his questions. I noticed a lot of the one star reviews are from supporters of Israel, an outspoken minority in the global community. This podcast is worldly and gives both sides of most issues a fair analysis, the Israel Palestine war included. If folks don't like what they hear they should look at the backgrounds of his guests and decide if they want to learn about foreign policy from them. It's a mix but some of his guests are the real deal and fi... more
