    If you like leftist pseudo science you will love this. The one I’m listening to is equating Hitler to Lincoln.

  • Get an interviewer who can speak ...

    ... the host has a bizarre accent that sounds like Peter Sellers as "Dr. Strangelove" but to make it worse makes awful, weird grunting sounds. He also interrupts as does not give the interviewee enough time to speak. Great books, great topics but the host makes the podcast unlistenable.
