What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Mr. Buppert does an excellent job of providing historical context and research to current event analysis of themes that are above and just below the surface. His style and voice are easy to listen to. A superior podcast to understand world events through the lense US hegemony and US military/industrial relations through the years.

I’ve been following the author’s work for at least a decade when he was a regular on the Freedom Feens podcast and am always amazed at the depth of his knowledge and his ability to share it in an understandable way.

Great listen. Some topics are entirely wrong, but that’s just me nitpicking, partially when he mentions anything during the GWOT. I guess it’s because of my time as a grunt for the USMC during 2004-2009 and knowing more insights. But for the most part , this is a grown up analysis that I enjoy.
