- Completely Agree!
I completely agree with you Bryce, NDT has been nothing but contemptuous and dismissive all these years towards the entire UFO/UAP conversation. I can’t even bring myself to listen to his recent interviews: a Johnny-come-lately to sell his book. Thank you for calling him out.

Apple Podcasts5TickrmvrUnited States3 months ago - Great show / too many commercials
Been listening to this show for years and love it- but way too many commercial breaks - I get that content creators need to make $ and encourage it but 3 commercial breaks in 20 mins? Very annoying and constantly breaks the flow. Sometimes I have to listen to something else until I have built up some more patience for interruptions.
