Hi! I love this show, and I am SO uncomfortable with The Zambian Plot episode. Granted, I haven’t finished listening to it, so I may eat my words in the end, but it feels very normalizing of the genocidal illegitimate settler colonial state of Israel… what’s up y’all, are you not keeping up with global news? You’re too smart for that, there’s no excuse. Palestinians are being slaughtered and exterminated, there is nothing normal or okay about Israel.

Jimmy is a true crime fan
