“I can see where valid criticism of any government makes sense. But it’s so clear that Tarrell has such a deep hate of Jews in how he presents information, using the term apartheid against Israel while conveniently ignoring the fact that Israel has 1.8 million Arab citizens with equal rights, with...”Read full review »

“So often we hear from ‘international experts’ who view the world from a limited white western world view. The host, currently living in Ukraine has a policy to bring on journalists/activists/diplomats/academics indigenous to the region under discussion.
Currently it’s a good way to understand...”Read full review »

“Starr brings entirely new perspectives to parts of the world I know fairly well and parts of the world I don’t know at all. Anyone even slightly interested in Blackness in the world and decentralizing white American perspectives should be subscribed to this.”
