- Horrible interview of Will Marshall
I love the show and I think Richard and Yalda provide great insights 99% of the time. This particular interview, it’s just one of the worst I’ve heard in a long time. Richard, you did not challenge Will Marshall in the slightest. It felt like you were drinking the Kool-Aid of AI bringing humanity to the end of the world. You did not question or clarify what Will was even talking about. As he described AI would kill all humans, you didn’t discuss scenarios of how this could happen, and therefore ... more

United Kingdom5 months ago - Great Interview
Thank you for the interview with Azizi. He provided exactly the type of expert input we so rarely get here in the west, but that we need in order to have a better understanding of the history behind all of the conflicts that have occurred in that part of the world since the regime change of 1979 in Iran.
Keep doing what you do Richard and Yalda, and we will keep listening! Thanks again.

The Iranian businessman Yalda claimed to be the key person has a questionable background.
On yr show he claims millions of Iranians are clamoring for the senior citizen son of the former Shah to return and lead the nation. Really ?
He also said he was in Trahir during the revolution in Libya. Except Trahir is where it happened in Egypt.
Instead of asking the real questions of the connection between this guy and Musk and Trump and future of another oil country in the age of a military expansi... more
