Customer Reviews
Long, often riveting conversations
Interesting long-form podcast with guests that are often quite to the right of my own views, but that turn out to have much subtler opinions than what their idiot fans are selling. And for all that, leftwing guests do show up and are allowed time and space to develop their thoughts (after a fashion -- the host, John Faithful Hamer, talks A LOT, as the format is conversation, not interview).
John is a great host. Funny, excitable, erudite, mind like a steel trap. And he's read everything and can quote it at the drop of a hat.
Highly recommended.
His Humbleness
As serious as Sam Harris, as fun as Joe Rogan.
