There’s something really interesting happening in Ukraine. The few and far between Russian victories seem to be making them weaker. Yes, you read that right. Russian victories are draining the life out of their soldiers, making it harder to win the b... more

Hot Updates
* Severodonetsk fell slowly as expected, but then Lysychansk fell quickly because Russian troops surrounded it, and Ukrainian troops had to retreat rather than be destroyed. It’s possible the Ukrainians were out-gamed by Russian mid-lev... more
Lots of ways we can split this. Much has been discussed about decoupling of wages from productivity.
Also note we are absolutely not going to get into 2022. But it’s clear the price increases since the pandemic (due to supply shortages, super aggre... more
OR, a tale of ups and downs
Lots of things seem to be getting worse, at least if you read the internet ever
This is not an episode to say, “nothing is getting worse,” but that what you hear about is probably not very correlated with what’s going on... more

Superb political commentary show that explores multiple sides of every issue in a balanced and thoughtful way. Whether addressing immigration, guns or the Russian/Ukraine War, this is well worth listening to, even if you don’t agree with their conclusions.
Great analysis, context and details about a wide variety of topics.
This podcast does all the thinking for you.The host is obviously bias in favor of Ukraine/Collective West. He doesn’t source any of his information; In the episodes on the war in Ukraine which I only heard the last two he only talks about his personal opinion and no facts are presented.
Unless you like to hear the personal opinion of the host, I don’t see a reason to listen to this
Israel Palestine episode soon?
I have really enjoyed listening to this pod but boy the “tribal flippage” pod was bad. The description of “tribes” describes exactly zero people that I know. No one in my sphere is that biased (either direction). I live in a very blue state, I hang out with liberal arts majors, and all the other key markers that should make my “tribe” ultra liberal. Nope. Nada. I also have plenty of friends and family who are prototypical “red”. None of them are that stupid and un-self aware. Guys, I think you n... more
Easily the best podcast out there (yes, even better than Hardcore History). Please come back—you’re our only hope!
The Capital was stormed. I would love your analysis of Trump floating the Rubicon on an air mattress like he needed a tan. Please destroy the conspiracies these d bags believe. Our vote is our country.

One of the best podcasts on politics around!
These Guys are Great!
Amazing discussions and elaborations on various topics from a more or less neutral standpoint, but also fünf stuff like stoicism.
10/10 would recommend.

Good stuff usually but they for sure do the thinking for you...
This is, in my humble opinion, the hands down best podcast on geopolitics, socio-economics and general world affairs out there. Erik and Xander are a joy to listen to and production is solid. Further still, the information is plentiful but never overwhelming or tinged with bias. Also, drinking episodes are hilarious.
I didn't like the discussion.
Informed opinion.
The guys do such a good job of presenting the fact and laying out the information in such a way that the listener can make their own conclusion on what’s happening. They also do an incredible job of keeping the episodes interesting and I find myself listening to old episodes that are still topical and they hold up extremely well. Absolutely awesome podcast.
