  • Not biased

    I was afraid that there would be some type of bias in these podcasts since the guy came from Fox News, but it seems to me like there’s not. All these topics have clearly been highly researched, and they are very well communicated. Well done! Please keep them going for as long as possible with this kind of quality!

And NEVER EVER complicity!!! Parents are informed of any name change requests and never would we provide a ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Israel starving Gaza?
Q: Who's to blame for the situation in Gaza?
The blame is multifaceted, primarily resting with Israel due to its destruction of Gaza's governance, but also with Hamas for its role in escalating the conflict and creating visible suffering as a strategy.
Is Israel starving Gaza?
Q: Is starvation an Israeli policy?
There is no substantial evidence indicating that starvation is an intentional tactic of Israel; although there are challenges regarding food access, humanitarian aid is still being delivered.
Is Israel starving Gaza?
Q: Are people starving in Gaza?
The range of estimates indicates that starvation deaths are likely between zero and 266, meaning that claims of a severe famine are overblown compared to the reality.
"Negro" "Black" "African American" ... why?
Q: Does it matter how we use group labels?
There is division on whether group labels can be used as nouns or need to be used as adjectives, with implications tied to identity and sensitivity.
"Negro" "Black" "African American" ... why?
Q: Why do groups change their names?
Groups rename themselves to shed labels that feel like relics of discrimination, assert pride, or gain political and social legitimacy.
