This is such a brilliant, concise podcast which helps you stay afloat of the news without being drowned by the onslaught of crazy headlines. The presenters are just excellent and so is the research and guests. Daily consumption for me.

will.o.

Honestly some of the best reporting I’ve ever read or listened to. Keep it up. This story has made me feel sick to my stomach and shocked. For the Israeli government and military to boldly commit such acts of atrocity in the name of protecting the Israeli people and state. They appear to feel untouchable and arrogantly free from a need to account for acts which are on par with what they themselves received during world war 2. The Hamas fighters are at fault in this and willingly and knowingly initiated this response presumably to raise the profile of Palestine’s struggle living alongside the Israeli state. However, I feel such shame from the building of the Israel state on top of the blood, bones and suffering of such innocent people and non-combatants.
where are the old eps???
