- Do your homework
They lack subject matter expertise on the topics they discuss. Many of the arguments made rely on dated or simply incorrect information. One example of many, the Europeans cannot crank out long range fires systems that are independent of US technology in months. Criticizing the administration is fine if you can back it up, but you have to do your homework.

Love the podcast. Hate the new ads. I understand the need to monetise, but please don’t have them repeated so frequently it’s distracting and gauche. It’s really putting me off from continuing to listen to a podcast I have valued for years.

Recently listened to a show where Gaza was discussed. No mention of the plight of the Palestinians the fact that Israel is starving the populace.
The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), a prominent academic group of over 500 genocide experts, has also declared Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the UN definition of genocide. There are great bulwark podcasts. This isn’t one of them.

Had to turn off an excellent discussion because the constant whining from a dog which seemed to be in distress without recognizing it was so disturbing
