- Useful to understand the European perspective
As an American it is good to listen to podcasts like these to see how US policy is perceived from Europe. I’m listening to the episode from Keir Giles and it is interesting to hear an analyst from an ally characterize the capture of Maduro as a kidnapping or the US policy in Ukraine as favoring Putin.

United States10 months ago - Spoiled by the host
Not a bad pod in terms of the content, but the host is too full of himself by half, which really detracts from the experience.

United Kingdoma year ago - Irony
The sheer irony of Angry Roberts and Angry Cornish describing the SDR as an ‘angry rant’. So they ranted about it angrily for 42 mins.
Get a grip fellas, Roberts especially.

If only opinions could substitute for analysis…
Apple Podcasts2>>lUnited Kingdoma year ago - Roberts please get a grip
How many times in the recent episode with Amelie Tolvin does Roberts accuse other commentators of things they haven’t actually said? It’s bizarre. He claims the ‘prevailing narrative’ to be something it actually isn’t. And he does this consistently episode after episode. He should also stop adding the word ‘right’ on the end of every other sentence.
