This story changed my life. Until then, 1997, I’d always done stories about things where I live, what I call home. When J.J. Yore (producer of “The Savvy Traveler”) asked me to go to Cambodia, I didn’t even have a valid passport.

    Thank you Scott for being a brave American, standing up against the injustice and impunity of Israel’s crimes and subsequent US/Western backing of it all. Thank you for all your great work. I will send funds for you asap but please know that I support you wholeheartedly. Love from Sweden.

  • I used to love Scott’s storytelling

    In the past, I would recommend Scott’s podcast to all my friends, thinking he was an incredible story teller with a unique ear to stories. Now I think he’s a dangerous person. He reports live to mic interviews with zero reverence to the truth, telling one sided stories with no care to the full context or history. Don’t waste your time just move on from this channel of antisemitism and ignorance.
