Fewer guests

It would probably be better to have fewer guests and give them more time to explicate. This is better than cutting them off. But good to see more balanced perspective than what we’re getting here in America.

Crucial content, but please give guests more time!

Previous review (below) stands, but this podcast doesn’t update to show new episodes unless I go to the show and refresh several times. Apple needs to fix this!

Giving 5 stars because this is one of the most important sources of analysis and information we have available, but I agree with other comments: please give more time for guests to speak! I’d prefer much longer episodes instead of the constant rushing to get through such important concepts.

No new episodes

Why are there no new episodes? I hear in other Al Jazeera shows the promo of this show’s new episode, but they don’t show up here on the app. Can someone fix this?
