AJ you are the bomb. You and your crew do great work!! BTW, Big Brother watches and listens any way they can. Now, more than ever, we have no right to privacy. What you do in your bedroom can be misrepresented as a threat to national security. If you believe "they" did anything "unknowingly" then just keep on talking.

Snowden taught us much, but he omitted that he's Putin's operative. He did some of the right things for all of the strong reasons. His hypocrisy merits comnent.

Tucker Carlson's record of public utterances, editorial choices, associations, and overall behavior speak for themselves. Please, for the love of God, never cite him unironically. Please delete any such material from your otherwise exemplary work. A thousand credible people said what he did at the time, sooner, and/or more more articulately. Think about the 3 admonitions that you give your audience as you sign off every show; how do Tucker Carlson's words and actions jibe with your words?

Do you want people to suggest minor corrections for these podcasts? Here in the comments? Via emai?

Just realized the last one was on the Alaskan pyramid video. Thought it was on a different Alaskan something something. Is there another Alaskan something? Was I just trippin? The patrion is worth it even if it's just to impatiently wait for content. And for you to take my money for plushies and keychain.
