Needlessly over-produced and dubious narrative

“First thing, this podcast gets in its own way with the overproduction. Constant random sound effects that don’t even keep the sound levels similar, means getting blasted with random loud noise for no real additive to the podcast. Spamming soundbites and memes give it the sound-equivalent of one of those buzzfeed pages that just post gifs after every paragraph to try to seem culturally current (but never actually succeed in that) Then there is the bigger problem of the narrative. It gets a lot right, but it’s insistence on always going with the interpretation that is the most nefarious for the United States and its allies, make it fall into the same historical trap that all shows do who sacrifice accuracy for ideology fall into. Rather than presenting ambiguous information as that, they instead just fill in the blanks in information with confirmation-bias-serving conjecture as if it is settled truth. Overall, this podcast will prove sufficient for audiences who care less about historical fact and want some red-meat for the always-evil-empire outlook. For anyone looking for a truly historically accurate, just-the-facts telling of middle eastern geopolitics? Look elsewhere”

Also I’m pretty...”Read full review »

“There are too many good things to say about this podcast, and two few stars to give it the rating it deserves. Two unbelievably hard-working journalists have put together an incredible account of an appallingly cynical scam (actually, an ongoing parade of scams, each one outdoing the last for...”Read full review »
