Though provoking and insightful commentary

A Prop’s View

Deep dive into Georgia is fascinating and Roland is a brilliant host. I believe the reaction in Central Asia could be determinative in the Ukraine war and the future direction of the European Union and wider Western Alliance. Thanks very much
Ignorance being pedalled as information.

The Real Laurie Ray

I listen to this because I think it’s worth sometimes understanding what the other side think. but I have to say you can’t go five minutes without hearing at least one thing said that it’s just plain factually incorrect. It’s right wing ignorance peddled as journalism.
Well researched
