  • Abruptly abandoned podcast

    This podcast, while quite interesting and informative during its run, appears to have been completely abandoned by the podcast creators. Very disappointing.

  • Doesn’t the “free press” need alternative perspectives?

    In the US’s ever dwindling roll to allow free speech, this show will include alternative perspectives that Democracy Now used to provide. We live in an increasingly unipolar world perspective funded by the 1%ers!
