  • get rid of david :)

    love this podcast but david needs to get booted… i’m sorry some people just don’t have podcasting skills. i can’t stand constantly hearing him go “um, uh, um” and he constantly derails the conversation onto random tangents. this would be much better with just madeline.

  • Evil Empire

    This is the perfect podcast for an insane neurodivergent person (me) with an obsession about how America and the CIA have and are still actively trying to destabilize every country in the world who doesn't fall in line with US hegemony

  • Free Tibet-1

    The podcast is misleading in many ways and serves as propaganda against Tibet. All I hear are ignorant individuals ranting about a topic they are not qualified to discuss, as they have not done their homework.

    Most importantly, the Dalai Lama was born in Taktser, Tibet, not in Shanghai. Tibet was always an independent country until the PLA invaded and killed millions of Tibetans in the 1950s.

    The hosts are repeating the same false narrative as the invaders—that Tibet was enslaved and that they... more

  • Incredibly dishonest

    Listened to the Milton Friedman episode. She sets facts great to make her points. But for counterpoints she quickly dismisses any relevant information. All this reading on economics and she says capitalism is about maximum profits?? This whole episode is cherry picked information, just look at the sources. Jacobin. If you want to come out thinking you know economics but are wrong about 50% of the subject. This is for you.
