Customer Reviews
Hot takes on politics and culture
Have been a fan for a couple of years. Well paced, acerbic commentary pointing out the absurd but with some hard hitting messages. Always relevant, always insightful and witty, always harping on about razor blades (snigger).
Very poor effort
The Soujed team like to think of themselves - and indeed describe themselves - as free speech absolutists. I suspect they're bought and paid for. Irritating voices and lamentable arguments poorly expressed.
More Rakib please
Always enjoy your current event conversations. Thanks.
