Brigham Young Money

Checked out BYM for the first time in a while to listen to the Feb 6 episode. Gotta say, it’s time to ramp the pod back up. Thanks for the laughs. 10/10

As an American born to Eastern European parents and as a leftist, I gotta say the political takes on Eastern Europe/Ukraine on this show are startlingly bad and uninformed (e.g. assertions that aid is given in money instead of military hardware). Sometimes the takes are literally talking points pushed by Russian propaganda narratives (e.g. US doesn’t have healthcare because of aid given to Ukraine). I already was thinking of unsubscribing because the podcast just makes me feel depressed, but the last episode was a final straw for me. If they can’t even get basic international relations stories right and support narratives from an imperialist power that colonized Eastern Europe and committed multiple genocides there, that’s gonna be a no for me. Plenty of other podcasts have well informed takes. I’d rather listen to those instead.

I took some time today to listen to your show!! Brigham Young Money, is a fantastic podcast with great info, advice, and perspectives. You won't regret listening to and learning from the podcast.

Listening to these depressed lefties complain about our state makes this depressed lefty feel a little less lonely.
