“I was wondering and worrying how my beloved fellows liberals could become so antisemitic. This is one of the answers. If anyone is interested in high quality reporting on geopolitics. Listen to battle lines by the telegraph. It’s much better and much more nuanced.”

“Bessner is wildly, unnecessarily confrontational with his guests, and the level of smug self-satisfaction he displays is intolerable even for someone who has spent most of his life in academia. I can’t believe anyone would willingly sit down with him for a coffee, much less an entire podcast...”Read full review »

“This bonus episode was incomprehensible to non-scholars! What ever happened to a clear train of thought! Throwing out book titles was of no use to me. Save intense academic arguments for school. Remember the non-specialist!”

“Depending on the guests and host’s understanding of given topics, the episodes are 80% fluff + 20% substance or the reverse; more of the former.”

“Useful for a view into a far left progressive view of the world, but no actual foreign policy recommendations - just snarky commentary. General viewpoint is everyone is stupid, except for them.”

“The perfect mixture of news, history, theory and whimsy. I got to know Danny and Dereck through the Chapo family of podcasts. They have delightfully sparking personalities and they make a great show about foreign affairs from a Marxist perspective. A show I’ve been looking for for years.”
