Great episode, would love to hear a similar themed one detailing the history of the PKK and the kurdish struggle (haven't listened to all the earlier episodes yet but looking through the list it didn't seem like there was one covering it in detail like this)
Hi, Irish person here, loved this show, totally on point, except maybe that slight slip that Jason caught about the Irish Times being a torrie paper. Fantastic work!
Excellent show! Also, yes, I agree with Brian F. - if you can easily mute the mic during noisy times, please do, especially w/ guests
Damn Mark can't you mute your mic while you're not talking if there's gonna be a ton of background noise ? ?? No hate though good job yall
