- Surprising and insightful at every turn
You can see from the offset that this is produced by journalists. The storytelling is top notch, and the investigatory work is outstanding and well sourced. I came to this world completely ignorant, so it’s been revelatory to me. This brings clarity to so much geopolitics happening right now - worth listening to for that alone.

When is Season 2 coming out re “Who Killed the Haitian President?” There have been numerous references to it ……. The President’s death and information about it caught my att... more

Podcast Addict52 years agoabonnie- A must-listen
Anyone interested in the security & privacy of their lives & that of their friends & family should give a listen. If you love freedom & living in a democracy this is vital information - not politics. So east to listen to & understand. Well done. Can’t wait for Season 2!
