  • Shady

    During the 1st part of Peter Dukes interview all the sudden when Duke starts speaking about his beliefs on nukes and why when Ricky abruptly stops the show and says he has to pick up his kid. Very strange actions.

  • Let your guest talk dude!

    I’m halfway through the Charlie Robinson ep & Ricky has done 95% of the talking. I stopped listening for over a year because of it. Came back to hear this ep and all they’re talking about is sports. What a waste of Charlie’s time and mine. Do solo shows or let your guests talk. Stop trying to be like ROGAN.

  • Interesting podcast

    Generally interesting topics, although I don’t listen to all of them. Deducting a couple of stars because the host talks too much, which is okay sometimes except when it’s about himself. For example, the last 10 minutes of the Scott Horton interview where he goes on and on justifying his use of AI rather than engaging with a fascinating and knowledgeable guest.

Episode 582: The Ripple Effect Podcast (Ralph Blumenthal | INSIDE The NY-Times UFO Article That Changed Everything)
Q: Did you fear blowback for pursuing John Mack's work and UFO-related reporting?
He says he wasn't afraid of blowback; he maintained journalistic separation and emphasized careful sourcing, on-the-record statements, and rigorous verification.
Episode 582: The Ripple Effect Podcast (Ralph Blumenthal | INSIDE The NY-Times UFO Article That Changed Everything)
Q: Where did your mindset come from before you started exploring these topics?
Blumenthal explains that journalism is consistent across topics: interview sources, verify information, and stay open to new evidence, even when the subject is controversial like UFOs.
Episode 581: The Ripple Effect Podcast (Kristen Bitting | The Esoteric Elite & The Illusion of Control)
Q: What is your view of the future given these technological and spiritual currents?
The future splits humanity into groups: leaders who speak truth, comfortable likeminded followers, and sleepers who comply with the system. There may be profound changes by 2045-2050, including challenges to procreation and evolving human-technology borders, with people choosing between transcending the current realm or intensifying life in a virtual 3D space.
Episode 573: The Ripple Effect Podcast (Alex Krainer | WW3: How It Starts & How It Ends)
Q: Do you think Iran can hold off and whether the US-Israel effort could collapse as a strategy?
The guest argues Iran has prepared for a prolonged conflict with deep strategic redundancy, suggesting that a quick victory for the US-Israel coalition is unlikely and that Iran could outlast and adapt, potentially reshaping regional security dynamics.
Episode 573: The Ripple Effect Podcast (Alex Krainer | WW3: How It Starts & How It Ends)
Q: What do you think is going on in the world right now, and what's your take on what's happening?
The guest lays out a view of escalating great power competition, the potential for a long, drawn-out conflict, and the possibility of a broader realignment toward a multipolar order that challenges Western dominance, while stressing the complexity and fog of war.
