  • Brilliant and Incisive Podcast

    I thoroughly enjoy this Podcast. It is topical, engaging, and despite the barrage of bleak news covered, relentlessly positive. The hosts seek real world solutions to geopolitical problems even when interviewing (as they often do) people with whom they disagree… I also like that the host’s effusive personality is front and centre! Congratulations on a terrific Podcast team!

  • Brilliant!

    I SO enjoy this podcast to understand what is happening in the world. I may be biased as my cousin is a Catholic bishop recently assigned to Bangladesh, but the episode with Taufiq Rahim was absolutely brilliant! He was able make clear the previous coup situation, the geopolitical context, and explain why this matters to the balance of world power. 👏

  • Good guests, terrible host

    The podcast gets interesting guests to talk about the issues of the day and generally allows them space to put forward their view of world events.

    However the sheer narcissism and chauvinism of Jason Pack makes Disorder a challenging listen. Pack demonstrates with astonishing clarity the lockstep adherence of what’s perceived as ‘realpolitik’ with US imperialist and foreign policy aims, and is always salivating at the prospect of getting out the heavy-duty materiel. Always has the last word and... more
