Kundenrezensionen
Pick me up, I’m scared - but I also want to learn
What can I say? This podcasts can make you really sad because it shows how much injustice the whole world experiences in the end through capitalism and imperialism. But you know what? Each time I listen to another episode I feel like getting smarter, like gaining more knowledge and context which helps me to evaluate the stuff that happens in the world. That most of the stuff isn’t actually even new but a continuation of what the US has done over decades. In the end these are all topics that I’m interested in but also where I would be too lazy if I would need to read it all by myself. Therefore, thank you very much for this podcast and sharing your knowledge and research! I enjoy your discussions on my walks!
