  • An antidote and complement to the commercial & mainstream media

    I thoroughly enjoyed hearing voices and perspectives that are muted and ignored by most of the commercial and mainstream media. Do yourself a favour ( I am from New Zealand hence spelling) and have a listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The World Over: Iran Cease Fire, Netflix Controversy, Pope Leo in Africa, Assisted Suicide in Canada | April 9, 2026
Q: How credible is the Iranian leadership in negotiations given the history of deception and strategic messaging?
Phares argues that the regime seeks to buy time and use crises to reframe concessions as victories, while internal factions and external pressures influence the trajectory of negotiations.
The World Over: Iran Cease Fire, Netflix Controversy, Pope Leo in Africa, Assisted Suicide in Canada | April 9, 2026
Q: What should we expect to happen next, and will diplomacy be enough to hold the ceasefire together?
Walid Phares explains that the balance of power, internal divisions within the Iranian leadership, and the international pressure around the talks will determine whether diplomacy can hold, with a likely emphasis on time-gaining tactics and the role of regional actors.
The World Over | Full Episode: PRESIDENT vs. POPE, SCALIA VOL. 2 | April 16, 2026
Q: Why break Scalia's story into Volume 2, covering 1986 to 2001 rather than a single definitive biography?
Volume 2 expands on his 29.5 term on the Court, drawing from unpublished materials and an oral history to illuminate how he maintained fidelity to text and Catholic faith without grafting personal beliefs into jurisprudence, making the narrative a titanic American life.
New Book! Robert Duvall R.I.P.
Q: What does fighting back against these forces actually look like for a Catholic family today?
It involves building coalitions across different faiths and becoming more active in community and governance, holding accountable those in positions of power.
New Book! Robert Duvall R.I.P.
Q: Is the current anti-Christian movement different from the anti-Catholicism of the past?
Yes, the big change is that now institutions, including the government, are actively oppressing traditional Catholics instead of just cultural attacks.
