  • Disappointed but still hopeful

    I enjoyed the first incarnation of this podcast until Ross Coulthard damaged his own credibility with unverifiable reporting (mostly elsewhere) and was encouraged by the reboot with Richard Dolan as the new cohost. But after one initial rah rah launch promising big things, we get weeks of silence followed by a show that basically rehashes old cases that have been discussed over and over and are just stories. Hopefully more substantial episodes will follow.

  • Disappointed

    It’s very unfortunate that Ross is no longer on the show. It’s now very very boring and you just keep repeating yourselves. How about you bring new material/content. You just keep going around in circles.

    I doubt I’ll be listening much more

    Ross is a clown. Journalist? What a joke. I can’t believe anyone takes him seriously.

Q: Do you know if David Grush is going to be making any more public statements or anything more potentially other whistleblowers that might become a full-grown individual?
David Grush is working hard behind the scenes, but has not made many public statements lately. His current focus is on working with Congress, and the effectiveness of that remains in question.
