  • Embarrassing hot takes of the Middle East

    Another tankie treating terrorism as resistance. It’s appalling that Western leftists who demand so many rights for themselves in their own countries will happily lionise evil men whose entire project is to dismantle rights and freedoms for others in theirs. Male White privilege masquerading as liberationism.

  • Excellent history with technical flaws

    History podcasts are my preferred genre, this is one of the most comprehensive. Excellent analysis and insight. HOWEVER, the frequent coughs, sniffles and throat-clearing are really annoying. PLEASE get a cough button to mute those noises. Also, as others have mentioned, the laughter can be a bit grating. Those audio issues took this review down to 4 stars.
