Original Host Was Better
I've been listening to this show for a while, and really appreciate the focus on various news and current events that seem be left out of a lot of mainstream media. This show and Intercepted, however, definitely have a bias in favor of men - men hosts and men guests. Just something I've noticed, and continue to find problematic. That aside, like with any show where the guest can determine how interesting an episode is, this one fluctuates wildly for me. Some politicians and economists come on and start droning, and I'd prefer to gouge my eyeballs out with souvlaki sticks. Others come on and are extremely engaging, knowledgeable and interesting. That's not necessarily a fault of the podcast (although they could, perhaps, remember that this is a podcast so finding guests with something of interest to say, rather than just a topic, should be a primary focus). And though Grimm has been hosting for a long while now, I still find him less interesting than Hasan, and his vocal fry, to be somewhat petty but also truthful, is getting on my nerves. It's hard to listen to him in long spans. Still, at this point to me the news is still important enough to overcome this for me so for now I'm continuing to listen.Read full review »

I love Mehdi. He’s a no bs investigative journalist that brings together facts. I wish he had a daily show so I don’t have to wait a full week to hear his show.

What an amazing first episode for this podcast. Congratulations Mehdi, good choice of first guest, I just wish the episode had been longer. Good journalism is truly inspiring and definitely part of the solution to many of the problems we’re facing nowadays. Go get’em Mehdi!
