  • Ridiculous

    I wish I could give the podcast a -100. Nothing but anger and unintelligent dribble. I don’t understand how someone spews that much hate and continues to stay in America and live. Don’t waste your time.

  • This podcast is a whole galaxy!

    I absolutely adore Melanie and Elena's anti-western movie idea (Sept 2025 Wind and the Reckoning)

    I'll be happy to play a yt buffon (typecasting) and bring all my yt relatives to see it!

    You are absolutely ready to write this!

    I also love the alternation between RNP and RPH, and dire current struggles with deep-dive pop culture/film reviews

    One of the most important things culturally is to demystify the Bible. It’s a book of fables.

  • Perpetually undone by this podcast

    I learn so much from this podcast every episode. It will sound completely cheesy but honestly the profound truths, language, and ideas that surface feel like new building blocks in myself, and I hope for all the listeners to come. The episode with Mohammad El-Kurd completely undid me, and I’m grateful.
