“This is the first podcast that I ever got into. I started listening when the Ukraine crisis began and now Derek is my best friend on the radio that I have never met.
His conversational tone on deeply complex issues is in fact like chatting with a smart friend. I always learn something new and sometimes I disagree vehemently with what he is saying, but then he explores my view of things in a rational way.
I struggled with the Israel-Palestine episodes… but I have an emotional and identity connection to that topic… so its just fraught.
Ultimately, his is my favorite podcast and I look forward to every new episode like the gift from a”friend” that it is. Keep going, Derek! Bring on the hard stuff that no one else is covering with as much depth as you.”
