“The Council on Foreign Relations podcasts claim the opinions presented are that of their hosts and the Council takes no positions on policy as an institution. However, this belies the fact that every one of their hosts is a progressive liberal and views anyone to the right of a liberal as a fascist.”

“I was a loyal Foreign Affairs subscriber for a decade or more after college, but over time the content and impartiality eroded. This podcast is a great example. Take the recent episode about abortion where the views of the Guttmacher Institute were represented as objective truth rather than...”Read full review »

“For CFR promoting the leftist Elite’s agenda is all that matters. Concern for freedom of the press only extends to the leftist liars.”

“Love this podcast! It does cover what’s hot in the headlines now which can be a little tiring (and redundant) but a lot of episodes are topics that you really don’t hear much about but may be the underpinning factor(s) in current events.”

“I found it through the “webby awards”. It makes absolutely no mention of the USA surveillance state when discussing the “American internet”.
Are they all completely unfamiliar with Edward Snowden’s memoir?
To not address USA government surveillance shows impressive ineptitude. It is hatf to...”Read full review »

“Love the content but the host needs to learn best practices of podcasting and be aware that the mic picks up every nonverbal response. While these responses are natural in daily conversation they are distracting when played on a podcast. Host severely distracts from the guest speakers. Stop...”Read full review »

“I’m referring to the segment on hypersonic weapons. First, I have heard from other sources that the U.S. has held back from developing these weapons to avoid an arms race. This was never mentioned in the podcast.
Second, if China was worried about about the U.S. missile defense systems then...”Read full review »

“"So" is the word that the host says prior to every question. Every single one. At no point does the word "so" add anything, and at every point it's irritating.

“Great Show! About time this got the attention due!
Seems to me the best way to not continue the crazy train is to stop insisting on growing the same old way that requires soil - the much sade cleaner and in the long run less wasteful
Way to grow what we humanos need to live well —?— hydroponics”
