I’ve been listening since the start, heard about Eric from the Phileaus club. Keep up the good work
Sad you are so against American realignment and the end of globalization. Do you guys work for the CCP? How are those USAID funds working out? (Honeypot winnie the poo emoji)
I thought the presenters seemed very knowledgeable until I listened to a show on my own specialist subject area, Palestine and Israel, in which they were coming out with over-generalisations and outright errors all over the place. I’m not sure if that’s just because they’re weak on the Middle East or I didn’t have the knowledge to spot mistakes on other topics. Some good interviewees, so perhaps just stick to the episodes with outside quality.
Great all around
Keep going with the great work
