  • These guys rock

    As someone in finance this podcast is a great way to cut through all the noise produced by traditional news outlets after a geopolitical event (hello, Israel/Iran conflict). Jacob and Marko are also fantastic speakers and are a blast to listen to. Nothing beats “nerdy” yet extremely entertaining content that adds a new perspective, and dare I say, geopolitical alpha, to the rest of one’s news intake.

    Very entertaining as well as informative. I enjoy your analogies and objectivity when presenting complex issues in a simplified manner. Some stuff goes over my head of course. Can’t pretend to know this stuff in depth, but love listening to you both. It provides perspective and calm in a crazy, whirlwind of daily breaking news!

    Interesting content. Jacob can you stop saying redundant “likes” - it makes you sound like an American schoolgirl.

  • Rose-tinted opinions without references or evidence

    Opinions without references or evidence, and with the kind of bias which is problematic when it comes to a realistic appraisal of issues across the Aegean, Cyprus, Greece and the Middle East.
