  • Reference

    Thanks both of you for a very good and informative podcast. I’m a regular listener. Just a reference to the recent talk with Jeffrey Sachs and you mentioned two articles related to Joan Robinson and Jeffrey Robbins. I’ll be very grateful if you can provide me with the links to those articles, thank you.!

  • Good show about geopolitics but…

    They are quite good and have good sources on Russia and other global places.

    But when they veer outside their knowledge area they need to learn to do a bit more research and maybe find relevant experts.

  • Biased in the extreme

    I’ve listened to a handful of these Podcasts. The first one I listened to was fairly obviously biased and ill informed. I persisted as I am open to being proved wrong, sadly the theme continued. A lot of what is presented as well thought and intelligent analysis is just regurgitated propaganda.

    Perhaps the presenters could deliver some independent factual third party analysis to demonstrate their claims are actually accurate.
