  • Lost the plot

    Started as good, slightly left of center takes on geopolitics. The last 5ish episodes have just been “Orange Man Bad”.

    Preston makes great content on YouTube. The other guy is just a partisan hack. Too bad.

  • Superb Ukraine/GeoPolitics Pod

    Have been listening to Preston for a minute but was pleased to find him and his partner Ben on this other platform. Here they discuss all the same topics but add another dimension of understanding to the ever-changing battlefield lines. They’ve helped me to make sense of what is happening here at home and abroad. I can’t thank you guys enough for the amount of time, money, and dedication you’ve shown towards 🇺🇦 and I know those you speak of appreciate you shining a much need light.
