Not sure who thought it would be a good idea to pay all the majority of the entire show. Especially on a subject that has been the subject of many other podcasts, many of who do a far better job of diving into the complexities of what occurred at Ruby Ridge. Not a horrible podcast, just a horrible way to squeeze money out of people.

Lacking in facts and insight. Also, why do you have to pay for all but two episodes?
