What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I typically watch/listen on YouTube but wanted to take a moment to share appreciation for what you do. Your perspectives are timely and very helpful to keep us up-to-date on the complex geopolitics of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As a conservative leaning listener, it’s great to have your mindset speaking on the right side of history with this tragic war. Slava Ukraini.

Sendrock · Sep 2025

I have been watching you on YouTube for long time now well over 2-3 years. What I appreciate about your style and content is that it’s definitely center of the national and international political landscape. You are fair balance and well researched and what’s best of all to me is your willingness to simply admit when you are wrong and ask for clarification! Your humility makes me want to take your classes if if I could. You have taught me a lot and I feel your students are the most lucky to have you. Keep doing what you are doing professor, we will get pass this and a better version of the Republican Party will be emerge on the other side of this because of people like you! Be encouraged and keep going!

ezruler · Sep 2025

I have been listening to him since the first of 2025 on and off and every day since Spring. He reports two or three times a day; the first in the morning about overnight strikes and previous days ground action, evening about optical happening effecting Ukraine, and occasionally a focused third report about something particular. He is very balanced in reporting but obviously supports Ukraine. I mostly watch him on YouTube but many times listening to him here is just as good. I also listen to Paul Warburg on Ukraine/Russia.
