The East is a Podcast

Interesting, informative, entertaining, and vitally important work. I listen to the entire intro and outro every time. Thanks!

All of the guests and hosts seem very honest and genuine, and help me understand what is going on in the world.

I enjoy this podcast very much, not the least for the sardonic banjo-infused jazz music used in the intro/outro, which sounds like a jazzy funeral dirge that would be played while you are being escorted to your execution, but it’s in a Chaplin film.

There are certain things that get discussed that finally just lighten this load that’s hard to explain. A kind of weight of western propaganda that can be intuited and sensed but will never be spoken about, or not clearly. It’s so important to be able to relieve oneself of these weights that are so attached to the western ideology and to our own psyche, so that one can attempt to finally move out from underneath it. It’s very freeing, and I appreciate this work.
