  • Very well organised anarchy

    I look forward to this every week. I’m an Australian, interested in living in Latin America where I have spent some very good time. This podcast has all kinds of thought- provoking material. Best of all is the irreverent, I-don’t-give-a-Damn host. He would be a lot of fun for a dinner party.

    I listen to a lot of podcasts across a lot of different genres. Most I really enjoy but occasionally you come across one that just doesn’t click for you. When this happens I just move on to something else in the wonderful world of podcasts.

  • Troglodyte venom

    Those who have never travelled far from their parents basement may get their feelings hurt while listening to this show. If wokester listeners had the patients to listen to several episodes without getting “triggered”, they would find Johnny to be quite complimentary toward Latin people in general without blatantly ignoring the realities of life in South America.
