- Not Full Episodes
Episodes cut off half way through, then direct you to the website to pay $100 a year to hear the rest. This wasn’t stated anywhere until I was an hour into an episode. This feels really dishonest. If it was said up front, and there was a way to buy a single episode for a few dollars to try it out, I wouldn’t be as frustrated. Otherwise, there’s plenty of other quality content out there to not bother with dishonest monetisation like this.

The world is watching and the US/Israeli alliance will be... more
