Love this show!
Stop with self-pity party
Dude you are a journalist. Life is hard and full of tragedy, your job is to report facts and analyze. This podcast is an unbearable listen at times because of the constant sniveling and self-pity expressed by the host. Its a shame because his heart is in the right place and the east European angle he brings to the topic is fascinating and worth listening to. Just be more professional with your emotions.
Not a true journalist.
He claims to be a journalist but he personalizes way too much of what he reports. He once ranted about being banned from Twitter after he admitted to threatening someone on the Twitter platform. And now he verbally threatens members of the EU. Also, he adds too much information about his personal life into the mix. A report can opinionated. But it should never be a rant.
Another annoying thing I have found about his podcast are his interviews. He is never able to let the interviewee answer a question fully (if at all) without him interjecting his own story or opinion first.
