      Just listen to the TruAnon series The Game. Brace was personally sent to one of these. I guarantee they do a better job

        Listened to it when it came out, it was excellent, if a hard listen. It's definitely where I'd point anyone who listens to podcasts and is interested in learning about this topic.

      BtB is usually better on purely domestic stuff I hear, I don't know personally but I would imagine Fedvans still makes terrible jokes that reveal the emptiness inside him

        It's been probably a couple of years now, I stopped in the middle of an episode after Robert or the guest or someone (I don't really remember at this point lol) went on an apropos of nothing rant against China, and I haven't listened since. It had been getting on my nerves for a while, but that was the last straw for me. Something about an "anarchist" who makes their living entirely off of corporate sponsorships, enough that they stopped being a journalist and moved into a "compound" (his word, iirc), never sat right with me anyway.

          Being an ”anarchist” and being anti-AES and anti-”authoritarian” in a way that aligns perfectly with US state department positions. Many such cases, but Fedvans just has more money and fame plus actually worked with the CIA.
