Reviews
“This show discusses global wars, usually under reported ones. Some episodes are good as the guests are knowledgeable, good to listen to, and audio is clear. Sometimes this isn’t the case and the episode is a terrible listen.
But the worst part of the podcast is the host. He has an ugly voice,...”Read full review »

“Touches upon underreported, emerging issues, but has the exact same problems as typical journalism - picks up the loudest actors that (coincidentally) always speak fluent English. Just gives them a soft platform with zero original research or challenges to guests. This is not always an issue, but...”Read full review »

“I’ve been following Jake since he reported for Vice, and I am a massive fan of his work. He delivers excellent quality reporting time and time again. It’s also imperative that someone is out their brining light to these lesser known conflicts, as Jake has and continues to do. I just wish the...”Read full review »

“Used to be good but it’s gotten too unserious. Wagner armchair “expert” is unknowledgeable and tries way too hard to be funny. Sorry Jake, when I want to laugh I’ll go to an actual comedian, and when I want actual reporting I’ll go to an actual reporter”

Why dent the PKK turn the table and take the fight back to...”Read full review »
