  • Hateful speech

    I am actually not normally one to write a review but every time I listen to this podcast the discrimination against anyone transgender is mentioned.

    On one episode there were comments made about Trans women taking over sports… there was only one trans women to ever take part in the Olympics, so I guess that’s not really taken over?

    You mention about sexual assault. Last year in the UK there was 700,000+ cases where a CIS male assaulted a CIS woman.

    It is actually in the hundreds that a tran... more

  • Always interesting!

    This is an excellent podcast for people who have open minds and are free thinkers. No, you won’t agree with every guest. How boring that would be. There have been a couple I might even like to take a swing at irl. Some of the guests are conspiracy nutters imo but I just skip the ones I’m not interested in. But Andrew is a sincerely interested and interesting person who enthusiastically tells the truth as he sees it and lets his guests do the same. What more could you possibly want?
