I'd really like to give this a higher-rated review, because the topics covered are quite interesting and relevant. However, I should have been expecting that, despite the protestations of the invited podcasters, the comments and viewpoints of these panelists was patently the same leftist pap that one could easily find if one were to find oneself (hopefully unintentionally) on MSNBC, which parrots the increasingly-delusional left around the world. Of course, such viewpoints are considered standard-issue and very enlightened throughout the typical academic circles and eddies in which the fever swamps develop as of late, but are just the center-left equivalent of the just-as-delusional Birther movement that developed in the US during the Obama administration. That was, of course, condemned by the "mainstream" media then, but now this new Russia-oriented conspiracy is wholly embraced by those poor sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Nevertheless, I will continue listening, as painful as it may be, because I am not the close-minded hater of free speech that the typical university administrator might be. Also, my gentle encouragement would be to at least make an honest effort to find more diverse views -- it is likely you might have to venture outside the comforts of your varied academies and establish a foreign office in that netherworld you may snidely refer to as Flyover Country!
