Great work

2025-04-24 07:41:05 +0000 UTCbe honest: did you intentionally make this series nine episodes long (one more than eight) just to troll people? all jokes aside—tremendous work, thank you for this.

2025-03-20 22:27:56 +0000 UTCI can't remember if it was this episode or the next that talks about Epstein and Mossad. Just wanted to mention John Kiriakou (GitMo CIA "whistleblower") has been going around telling people Epstein was a mossad "access operation". Conspiracy theories are fiction until they aren't.

2025-03-02 20:12:25 +0000 UTCThis is my second run through this series and I think this episode is the best podcasting I’ve ever heard

2024-03-21 19:06:48 +0000 UTCI loved this. I got tangled up in the Maxwell world during my time working in publishing in London, which included some time with post-Maxwell Brassey’s. He wasn’t the only person who worked for BPC with intelligence links, at least according to office gossip.

2024-02-20 18:09:57 +0000 UTCYou have a way with words, you should put your material into print. Thanks for a really interesting show.

2022-12-29 07:02:47 +0000 UTCExpected, even if obliquely, an Everywhere at the End of Time allusion. Wasn't disappointed.

2022-12-26 21:24:28 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas Matt. What a great, mind melting ep. Your ability to condense these incredibly complicated stories into a coherent script is something I admire greatly. In my opinion you’re the among the best at these para political documentaries. That being said and enough dick suckin, can you bench 225 bro? I may have had a few to many bourbon shots during Christmas party. Keep up the stellar content, and raise your monthly patreon price.

2022-12-24 22:47:57 +0000 UTCThis was so good. Very tempted to spend the Christmas break creating a giant map with PROMIS at the centre - in the shape of an octopus obvs.
