“John is passionate about honest and fair reporting. As an American, I appreciate unbiased and balanced reporting that gives the facts, no fluff. John does just that, and his guests follow suit. Other podcasts should take notes!”

“John Sweeney, never one to shy away from controversial topics, has created a masterful podcast, highlighting the ways the West has continued to ignore the constant threat that is Putin (his depth and insights on that malignancy is told with great detail); all whilst reporting from inside Ukraine...”Read full review »

“John Sweeney is a celebrated BBC journalist who’s been tracking Putin for years and speaks Russian himself. In this podcast, recorded in Ukraine and Britain, he tells the corpse-strewn story of the world’s most dangerous man.”

“John Sweeney has devoted much of his substantial career to documenting and publicizing Putin’s atrocities. He is an old pro who has been through the wars - literally. This is a podcast worth listening to, blending facts and work on the ground with storytelling and passion.”

“John Sweeney has been on Putin’s case for 22 years, has he? During that time perhaps a million Iraqis have been killed, who knows how many thousands in Libya, and through western proxies many thousands in Syria. But don’t worry, John Sweeney’s ‘on Putin’s case’ making sure you the listener don’t...”Read full review »

“John does reporting the old, larger-than-life way. Marvelously eloquent, John brings the characters and the stories to life. And the stories are bone chilling, and the characters are dark. 10/10”
