Australia15 days ago - Rodger Shanahn insights
It was good to get the perspective of a military view about operations. The personnel are doing the job based on the intelligence - that you hope is up to date.
Reporting the facts is always another view that needs to be appreciated especially those in the field.
Of course Peace everywhere would be preferable.
Apple Podcasts5Amoloch007Australia18 days ago - Love the Pod + Geraldine
I really value the perspective that Geraldine brings to the podcast. One of the reasons I am a regular listener of the pod is because it isn’t an echo chamber - the conversations challenge assumptions and encourage people to think more deeply about complex global issues.
Her comment about the Iranian people needing to find a way to rise up / find a solution has attracted criticism - and quite a strong response from Hamish- but I think it was pointing to a broader historial reality: meaningful a... more
Apple Podcasts5Primary_PersephoneAustralia19 days ago - Kim Ghattas interview
I learnt so much from Kim Ghattas. What an amazing person. I’m not sure of your defence of Israel’s actions Geraldine and the justification for war because they are scared of those surrounding them. Netanyahu’s trigger happy pre-emptive strike mentally certainly breeds contempt from the ones being shot at. Sure the Arab states could have done more but asking the victims to come up with the solution is a bit thick when they can barely come up for air without fear for their lives.
Apple Podcasts5GlobalRoamingGroupieAustralia21 days ago - Wanted to like it
Hamish is great, balanced asked difficult questions and makes you think. Geraldine is the complete opposite. No critical thinking skills, blubbering boomer energy. I wanted to like the show. The other presenters are great. Geraldine’s comments pretty much endorsing Israel’s actions and saying we need to think outside the box are insane.
