Another great episode. Always good to hear things as they are, especially about Israel and Turkey. Coverage is still quite censored around here.
Since you're in Turin you should cover the Italian "Years of Lead" in an episode. I think it'd be great.
+1 although the politics could be quite tricky-and dangerous to piss off someone.
The Raeganites didnt lie on Beirut... 241 was the AMERICAN death toll. Guy whe piled the corpses probably handled a couple of frenchmen aswell? 60 of them died in that same blast. Glory to the French.
Mark Ames request to subscribe was hilarious in the context of this being a Subscriber only stream :D
Rocks!
anyone else having trouble listening to this stream? Plays for 1 second then loads forever...
