  • Spectacular and terrifying

    UNFTR gives it to the community like a backhand across the face. The whole political mess is focused on money and power. The rest is noise. UNFTR is fighting to educate us and motivate us to find ways to actively resist. Honestly, I cannot always listen because I become filled with dread. Understanding what is happening helps us think more clearly and act more effectively. Unbelievably solid podcast.

  • Brilliant and insightful

    If you’re in need of a new perspective on or overall understanding of our country especially it’s economy UNFTR is the best place to start. You’re more likely to learn and meaningfully understand economics from this podcast than expensive classes at most our universities. Humor, wit, history, exhaustive research, what’s not to like?!
