What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

If you want to hear the real dirt about the storied "studies and observations group" and their role in the secret war. Treat yourself the episodes 027 & 028. The legendary "One Zero" Lynn M. Black Jr. interviews are the stuff of nightmares. The "cadaver garrison" part will blow your mind-Download it because you will absolutely have to revisit this portion. Airborne!

Great show, great history and never boring. These are some of the best, inspiring people in the world and their lessons apply to everyone. Please, if any producers read this, stop panning speaker / guest audio hard left and right. Sometimes the guys speak softly or back off the mic and It makes listening really hard unless the environment is very quiet. Please improve this aspect and keep the interviews coming. Thank you veterans.

This is MY FAVORITE PODCAST! Thank you Jacko and Tilt for making it possible! It’s been way too long since we had a new one. When will we get to hear another interview? Also, I do not have a military background so I sometimes get lost on the lingo. Could you explain the acronyms and slang as you say them to help educate your non-military listeners? And post more interviews, I can’t get enough of them! Thank you!

Outstanding podcast. A must listen for people interested in military history, especially the Vietnam War. Most of these veterans were 19 to early 20s when they ran this missions “over the fence”. Truly humbling.

Great stories, but a lot of misinformation. MLK was sympathetic to aspects of communist ideals, but explicitly stated that the atheist aspects of communism were not compatible with Christianity. Just because there are photos of a person at a place doesn’t tell the full story, but the host frequently drops his insidious racist and bigoted insults with various comments such the “China Virus.” This podcast has many great stories but is spoiled by occasional white Christian Nationalist propaganda talking points. Just because you have some friends of other races doesn’t mean you can’t be a bigoted racist who feels the ends justify the means. The host and guest, Hanson, even bragged how they executed/murdered a mole and prevented them from getting a fair trial in the US. It doesn’t matter that the person was guilty. American democratic values that these guys claim to worship and protect doesn’t mean you get to ignore legal procedure when inconvenient or above the law. I get SF guys are rule breakers, but you don’t get to claim you are defending democracy or freedom when you’re breaking laws that are inconvenient. So many of your so-called facts about history are objectively and demonstrably wrong, sir. The biggest enemy of democracy is a lack of institutional trust. Some of this is for good reason, some is due to the apathy and complacency of the electorate, and most is related because of the willful ignorance and credulity of an ignorant electorate who is very lacking in critical thinking skills. These skills are not innate and must be learned. Motivated reasoning and bias confirmation are very good and making a person think they know more than they actually do because they read or heard a thing that validates the thing they want to believe because it informs their identity. Both political parties are plagued with willful ignorance, but the GOP is plagued with to a degree that is much more insidious and severe. The hypocrisy of the values that this party claims to represent and the reality is vastly different. Get out of your information bubble and attempt to destroy what you think is true. The truth isn’t afraid of rigorous scrutiny. If it is true, it will remain so. But so many of the talking points of this podcast of out right bigoted and racist. And just to be clear, I’m not a far-left liberal Tankie or commie lover. I’m a concerned citizen that is watching the fabric of democracy be undermined and unravel due to willful ignorance and misinformation being spread by those that scream the loudest about how much they love freedom and democracy.
