Very informative and lots of interesting stories. I’ve learned quite a few new facts just from a few podcasts.

Great storyteller— engaging, clear, and intelligent. I could listen to this guy’s stories for hours (and often do).

Enjoying the show, the snark keeps me sane, when the news from Ukraine can be so dark.

Fantastic show, always insightful and a good listen. Cheers on the marriage! 🥂

Love this show!

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.

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.

This guy is paid by the US military-industrial complex (see Eisenhower's farwell address). He seems to think that we Americans should risk a nuclear exchange with the Russians in order to defend small countries on the other side of the planet that most Americans couldn't find on a map.

Why is your country called Letonia in Spanish? I didn’t know Latvia until I found out we call it Letonia. Greetings from a Catalonian follower who lives in Florida. Also, you said Catalonia hates you? Wrong! We admire those republics who gained independence from their dictatorial empire governments. We just don’t have the sufficient will to follow through. Much love, Magda

Kristaps is at his very best when he untangles the narratives and makes you understand what Russia is really doing.
