  • The Humanity Behind the Legend

    Loved this conversation — you captured Tupac beyond the myth. It’s a reminder that legacy isn’t built on perfection but on depth, conflict, and truth.

  • Beyond the Dark Squares

    Such a powerful conversation. The way you held Danny’s story with depth and humanity turned it into more than an interview, it became a reflection on resilience, freedom, and the reclamation of self.

  • Another shill

    When explaining tariffs, James said that China will raise prices to compensate for paying tariffs. Yet, that isn’t how tariffs work. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on another country, U.S. importers of that countries products pay the tariff. I don’t think James is that stupid (or maybe he is). He is purposely spewing mainstream garbage narratives, filled with misinformation. Listening to these shills will actually make you dumber if you don’t do your own fact checking.
