After a couple of weeks of this I tried to report the issue through Apple Podcasts and nothing got...”Read full review »

“It’s genuinely shocking at how wrong they’ve been about basically everything, and how unfazed they are by that wrongness. Bloodthirstyness for the sake of bloodnthirstyness, masked by above average tactical knowledge. Blood on their hands, frankly.”

“Politics and war don’t mix - your guests need to stop inserting American politics into world events. It’s a false narrative and total disinformation.
So many of your SME’s are good at talking, but not much beyond that. Disappointing and the reason I won’t be renewing.”

“I’ve been listening to your podcast for a bit must say you toe the lines of the western world legacy media. So many lives have been lost in the UK inside.

“Hi Ryan,
Thank you so much for your Show!
It is an absolute pleasure to listen to you every week.
I was particularly interested in you announcing a show about German security policy.
As a German veteran and long time follower of German foreign and security policy I guess I share most of your...”Read full review »

“Lol the guest on the FISA episode thinks renewing FISA is the most important thing to americas. No dummy high taxes, getting out of the war/cost of Ukraine, and housing are what we care about most. Avoid this propaganda podcast advocating for more government surveillance.”

“From decent and informative military commentary to all of a sudden uneven politics with the innovation episode. Recommend steering clear unmitigated right wing political opinions. At a minimum maybe have voices that even each other out?”

“This has been a great show until this latest episode when they dipped into partisan politics and policy. I’d like the show to keep the course away from politics and cultural hot points and stay “centered” on the core of the show.”

“I enjoy Michael’s analysis and input. I largely agree with him that “a” specific type of arm does not make much of a difference in a war. However, HIMARS had an outsize impact. Without HIMARS, Russia would have kept gaining ground and there would have been no grain deal either. So, in my opinion,...”Read full review »

This Group must be hunted down like the hyenas they are and annihilated by any means possible ASAP.
