“This is the best para-political show I’ve come across by a large margin! I imagine it will be one of the podcasts people still listen to in a hundred years. Must listen for anyone who wants to try to unravel the profound corruption that surrounds contemporary situations. Thanks for all the hard...”Read full review »

“This pod is the truth! It may unravel your entire perspective on humanity, but it’s totally worth it. I studied History in undergrad, and I’m still surprised at how much I don’t know. Check out the companion playlist on Spotify as well, it’s a whole vibe.”

“Great research which makes all the connections, except oddly the main one. Regardless, this is a superb piece of work. It uncovers the facts below the layer of ‘facts’ from a diverse range of subjects - keep on keeping on!”

“Do you get the feeling there is a dark machine at work just under the surface of society? It’s not aliens or blood cults but far more scary, just regular bureaucrats and politicians thirsting for power and influence. The episodes are long, well recorded and presented with a velvet northern tone....”Read full review »

“Extremely well researched, fascinating in how deep it goes, and just the best host you could ask for. Funny, sharp and honestly a soothing voice which pairs perfectly with the often bleak or disturbing stories. Ghostboy forever”

“It’s always cringeworthy to hear British people use American words and pronunciations but here it’s quite aggravating. Similarly when he sticks to demonstrable facts the pod isn’t too bad but the political opinions are hilarious but I’m not sure if that’s intentional. Unfounded suppositions pile...”Read full review »

“I’ve never before been remotely interested in clandestine ops, CIA or anything of the kind. Just happened to bump into this because of my interest in Italy. But Matt proves to be a very talented storyteller with his wry dark humour and sincere commentary. Not only is the research deep and...”Read full review »

“But can’t really work with the way the podcast is being monetized now. Can’t be bothered to figure out whether the episode I’m listening to is part of some series where certain episodes have been paywalled or are going to be paywalled halfway through. To me, the current monetization feels kinda...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. Feels like taking history in school but with the agenda removed. It's really hard to find a left wing podcast that doesn't eventually become ruined by egos that like the sound of their own voice. So much thought and care is put into each episode. It's not just a...”Read full review »

“To find a smoldering ember one must distinguish its smoke from its spirit. The tangible from the spectral. The reins of power are invisible yet unyielding. These are your lessons. Your witch’s knot. Your divining rods. Into the dark forest, go forth. Breadcrumbs every fifth step. And don’t get...”Read full review »
