“I appreciate the great show and speakers, and am glad they bothered to create a Podcast of it at all, but c’mon, one episode at a time (or you can telegraph, fax or use smoke signals to request/receive old episodes)?!
It would be much more useful to share the back catalog, or at least a...”Read full review »

“I have listened to Alternative Radio since its beginnings. I used to order tapes to share with friends. I love that I can access and share the programs now via internet. It is a way to learn real overview of what is happening in our world today.”

“Quality all the way- But Seems they are more interested in hiding & controlling content than in getting the info out. No way to even pay to get the other shows apparently on here! If the left was more generous of info like this we could avoid the ignorance which will cause U.S. to soon fall...”Read full review »

“I wrote David asking what level would I have to subscribe at to have access to entire catalog as almost every podcast does for nothing… no response from his cloistered confines… David, there has to be a middle ground we can come to out of need to get information and your need to make a living.”

“its been said already but please leave episodes listed. its impossible to share with people because it leaves so quickly. we all can’t pay for content, and locking this stuff behind a paywall seems antithetical to the purpose of the ideas shared here. please consider patreon, paypal or something....”Read full review »

The professor started his class by asking, “Why do we learn history?” A girl in my class raised her hand and replied, “because those who don’t learn history are doomed to repeat it.” The professor, visibly annoyed, begrudgingly agreed with her, but...”Read full review »

“News & analysis you don’t get to hear in the mainstream propaganda media. Exposes the scourges of neoliberalism, warmongering & environmental destruction and the actors behind them. A rare island of sanity in the sea of disinformation & ignorance.”
