Incredible insights - thank you for bringing us these informative podcasts!
Excellent, consise information.
Came across Hal Kempfor from his reports on FOX, started listening to FOX as weary of UK news reporting….depressing and scaremongering with no depth to it. Enjoyed listening to him discussing topics, so refreshing to listen to a person with so much knowledge, insight and world experience
Now found STRAT and the very interesting discussions
