That Carafano interview was a joke. I didn’t know Bottom Line was in the business of being a mouth piece for this nonsense. Has the interview ever heard of pushing back on a question? I expected more from an Al Jazeera outlet. Booo.
Love the questions Steven asks, always seem to be the right questions that nobody else is bothering to ask
Question for the show: Why weren’t new episodes uploaded here for most of last year? Did the show get temporarily blocked?
I have really missed this podcast since it was discontinued in April last year. Thank you for posting it again! 🤓
I'm an American, and I'm very tired of hearing the American power elite's propoganda. This podcast (usually) offers sane, reasoned perspectives. And its coverage of the Israel-Palestine colonial conflict is very good.
I could barely get through the most recent episode about about Tech’s role in the Israel/ Palestine conflict. The female guest said “Umm” every other word. I wish hosts would ask guests to consider this. It’s very distracting and does not make for intelligent sounding commentary.
