  • Greg Stoker knows what’s up

    Hadn’t heard of this show until relatively recently but glad I found it because I’m always looking for those rare islands of sanity amidst a media ocean of amerikkkan imperialist brainrot. First heard Greg when he came on The Deprogram not too long ago and shortly after became a big fan of Colonial Outcasts and State of Play. Big thanks for telling it like it is!

  • Journalistic Integrity

    The coverage provided here is definitely worth a listen for unbiased and informed news updates. Focusing on how imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism are at the root of major current societal issues, Greg provides valuable context for the global elite’s diabolical schemes.
