  • Thank you

    Thank you Payne for seeking truth about the pandemic. I heard Jenner on another podcast and watched Thank you, Dr. Fauci on Angel that day. I would encourage anyone to support this podcast and watch Jenner’s documentary on Angel. The core issue here, whichever way you lean in politics, is that us regular people were not told the truth.

    Our lives and the lives of our families were irrevocably changed as a result of COVID-19 and the policies around managing it. We’re entitled to know why. And if... more

  • Don’t listen to the one stars

    They’ll say “this feels political “ or “ there is no science here”

    Of course it feels political, that’s the problem. You’re hearing science from some of the most tenured and best in their field. You fell for this whole thing hook line and sinker. And, that’s your problem. Don’t one star a review because you can’t swallow it..

  • Eyes wide shut

    This was really good, not great. Payne puts all the facts out there and just when he should point that there is something here and the conspiracies were right all along, he backs off. Not calling for heads to roll given the facts here, is malpractice. Especially with the premise he was to give him opinion at the end.

  • Nope, this is just more clickbait

    I wanted to learn things but it’s clear we won’t hear from science backgrounds or epidemiologists. This feels political. The irony is palpable.

  • So important

    Payne, I am so glad you have done this reporting, it’s incredibly important and timely. Sharri Markson has a podcast that explores this from the perspective of Wuhan - highly recommend What Really Happened in Wuhan for additional insight.

  • Conspiracies

    I started listening hoping for a well researched, substantive listen. Instead, it was mostly unsubstantiated conspiracy claims with no credible evidence to back them up. Ultimately, it offered little value and felt like a complete waste of time.

    Payne, you have to listen to the podcast “If Books Could Kill.” They have two episodes on this and one more plan in the near future. I’m hoping they will listen to your podcast as well. Would love to see you guys get together and discuss this!

    I found this podcast to be very informal. It was quite terrifying to look at this topic from a different perspective but I’m glad I was given the opportunity. Great reporting Payne Lindsey!

  • What is TFLabs

    This show seems really intriguing, however, I already have a subscription to Tenderfoot, and this apparently is affiliated, but not included under that umbrella? In short, I’m mad about the ads, and having to pay for yet another subscription service to get ad free. This feels like a money grab.
