  • Thank you

    One of very few shows that reflects our reality. I feel crazy listening to most mainstream news shows. Thank you for interviewing people talking about the issues we’re experiencing. I’m listening to the episode on planned obsolescence. The guest, Cory Doctorow, is so good.

  • When the podcast shines

    Trevor discussing geopolitics and the human condition is where this podcast really shines.

    The celebrity stuff is what other podcasts do and boring and underutilises Trevor’s talents and brain
