- 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.

Apple Podcasts5Sandra5**Australia19 days ago - Revenue Matters — But So Do Values
Disappointed to see the Melania movie promoted so heavily over repeatedly on this podcasts. Given how closely the film aligns with Donald Trump–era political narratives and the controversies around its creator, the advertising felt less like neutral promotion and more like amplifying a particular viewpoint.
