Used to like this guys work, he is a wolf sheep’s clothing and I can see why he went to jail. This is a good example what listening to someone with maniacal thinking is like. Unable to move past essentially reciting “A Letter to America” every episode.
Hi John, really appreciate the podcast but just want to suggest an audio upgrade.
Your microphone makes your voice sound rather “thin”, like you are standing inside a tunnel. Your voice sounds much more natural on other podcasts such as the Dalton Fischer Podcast.
Always interesting
I’m an every day listener and it’s worth the listen. Not as good as the old podcast with his cohost (guy he walked out on) but still really good
With the flair for storytelling and the ability and experience to explain the news cycle. John is providing an important service. I listen to every single episode so I can better gauge what the angle of the mainstream news output is and the motives behind it.
His expertise in Middle East affairs has really helped me understand the politics and moves our “leaders” are making.
Thanks John and keep up the good work!

Interwoven with the analysis are personal anecdotes and sponsor reads for data privacy services, tactical gear, and investment topics, which gives the program a pragmatic, information-forward feel for listeners who want context-rich, critical perspectives on current events and policy debates. A notable throughline across episodes is a skepticism toward official messaging and a willingness to reassess mainstream narratives in light of historical context and ... more
