Australiaa month ago - As you can tell by the reviews…
Though far from perfect, they are fairly accurate. They receive a lot of negativity due to the alarming amount of radical left wing terrorists here in Australia.
Apple Podcasts4Insomniac86Australiaa month ago - Anti Zionism is NOT anti Jewish or anti semitic
I’m incredulous as to how as journalists you would not know the difference between the ideology of Zionism and Judaism. It seems that you deliberately conflate the two.
Pro Palestinian rallies are fighting against Zionism and Israel and not Jews!!
Jews and Muslims lived and worked together in Palestine through history.
Apple Podcasts1Uli from ItalyAustralia2 months ago - Essential Daily Listening

United States2 months ago - Biased, not even factual
I was listening to the episode about Hong Kong on Feb 11, 2026. Both the host and the guest were shockingly biased. They can have an opinion, but the fact that they didn’t even get the facts straight speaks volume on their level of professionalism. I hope this is one-off. But to anyone listening to this particular episode and just happen to be reading this: this episode is garbage, you may be better off reading Wikipedia.
