Customer Reviews
Great,but
Please let your guests finish their stories. You quickly interrupt them, then talk longer than they do.
Great topics!
You’re guest today from Consortium is barely getting a word in.
Real Solutions
I love your podcast it is one of very few that are unafraid to speak truth to (about) power.
However… It makes sense that there are so many “deaths of despair” because the situation for individuals is bleak as well as the foreseeable future for all life on earth. Learning the specifics about the cage we are all stuck in is overwhelming and depressing. Ideas and solutions are never discussed and when they are it’s only three vague things; vote harder, call your congressman and organize.
Could you find a guest who focuses on solutions? Barring that maybe someone with detailed knowledge of successful revolutions.
Consistently top notch
I look forward to Scheer Intelligence each week. Too often Bob cuts off his interviewee to expostulate a bit too long. 😏 Small price to pay for his choices of sheer intelligence out there, though. Scheer is a national treasure who has a big heart and a sharp mind with loads of experience behind him.
