I Don't Speak German

Love this podcast. Each episode brings something new to the table and teaches me something. BUT… …please please PLEASE stop vilifying or dismissing H@m@5. (even having to write it in code feels ridiculous). They are a legitimate resistance force and government entity that is the only defense for the people of P@lest5ine. Do they use violent tactics? OF COURSE. Do they have a choice? NO. They are no different than the resistance fighters of the ANC and UWS in South Africa and the IRA in Ireland. To dismiss or villainize them plays right into the hands of 15r@aLian Hasbara, Zaka and corporate “Western” media. Three things that me being against is the whole reason why I come to this podcast. Thank you and warm regards.

Please put out actual content on a consistent schedule. ANY schedule. Monthly, Quarterly, I don't care. Pick something and commit to it, please. I could've posted this years ago and it would've been relevant. I expect it will still be relevant years from now, given the track record.

I’d rate this podcast better if they were doing this podcast but these “guest podcasts” really put me off because of the degree it seems the females are not deeply listening to what anyone is saying but rather taking turns speaking. It doesn’t build my interest and it becomes like any other conversation that I can’t wait to tune out (and I turn it off when I realize that I’m not trying to pay attention anymore). I don’t care whom was logged out of the low production zoom meeting; I am rather more concerned the building of coherent points. Sometimes I need help understanding WHY people have the feeling they have and simply judging adorable v deplorable is not building a point or gaining metaphorical ground for one’s argument. Building a better argument gives that argument gravity that otherwise one’s simple opinions lack and that was a great strength of this podcast (from my perspective) when it had its previous format (seemed orderly). I’ll keep trying the podcast to see if the “gang” can co-operate more in this respect by working together and tuning out when they don’t. Optimistic about raising this review star rating when things sort out.

For whatever reason, as the alt-right has reached a peak influence on American politics, this podcast has decided to become a movie review podcast. Was a really good listen when they covered meaningful topics. Now it’s just “bonus episodes” of movie reviews. Weird pivot.
