Recommend!
Love it! Keeps me updated and informed on a daily basis 👏🏻 the hosts are superb too
Less propagandist than usual
The guardian has done some incredible work breaking crucial stories, but it’s bread and butter isn’t news, it’s propaganda. Luckily this podcast is less flagrantly so than the website, but only by a pinch. They propagate a victim narrative that is spewed our to millions of people daily and devastates their lives. Their business model depends on it - victimhood is very addictive.
