  • Show is leaving the reservation of reality

    I used to enjoy the show for years but going off the deep end. “Welcome to the nerd reich” is a perfect example and show is in need of moderate/centrist assessment to bring it back to reality or tether it to sanity.

  • Jason Fields is a genocide supporter

    Respect to Matthew for coming around but Jason is clearly on the side of Netanyahu and genocide. I’m from a very proud tradition opposed unconditionally to genocide. My grandfather and grand uncle BOTH liberated concentration camps (Bergen-Belsen and Dachau respectively) and they would be ashamed to see what’s happening today in Palestine. Matthew, ditch the dead weight and find a cohost or medium with someone who is morally and intellectually your peer.

  • Shameful Zionist Propaganda

    Found this podcast after the host was a guest on Something Rotten, this is at the same level as CNN and Fox News, truly shameful to be inviting on deniers of the worst genocide in recent history

  • Flattens the people they talk about

    The hosts have an embarrassingly limited understanding of the Middle East and their biases lead them to flattening Arabs into simply "doing the bidding of Iran" rather than having their own agency.

  • Can be a great show

    There is no doubt I have learned a lot about foreign conflicts from this show. I’ve also been fed a ton of Zionist propaganda that makes the show unlistenable.
