  • Expands your horizons. Interviews of authors. They cover a lot of good books that don't get attention from the more popular podcasts or book reviews.

    Big thank you Political Science.

    To Blumenthal’s critics:

    Keep your dirty petrodollars, your crazed Takfiri radical militants from China, Chechnya, and from all over the world, keep the mountains of media campaigns of deception, cynicism, and lies. Keep those maniac sectarian psychos who deny the river of blood shed at the hands of your “Moderate Rebels.”

    But give us “Management of Savagery.”
