Fantastic!!! I feel like the rate and quality of episodes are just off the charts right now. Have you considered opening up a voluntary higher tier (no extra stuff, just a higher price per show or higher monthly limit?) I'd happily chip in a bit more when I'm able and I doubt I'm the only one

Maybe this explains why Iran appears to be kowtowing to Europe and the US diplomatically - Soleimani was a one hit wonder and they don't really have anybody else like him even before the June war Who knows though

Doug Cartel

I'm basing this on the few telegram channels I track who are claiming the President and FM are idiots showing their asses and who are predicting that they will concede even more to the US, but again these are the opinions of some internet bloggers so I'm only relaying their perspective on this, no ideawhat the govt will do now that the snapback mechanism is activated.

Hey you can actually contribute any value per month (or technically per paid episode). If you go to Change your subscription you can input it manually. But isn’t the top option 100 per episode? You can get an ad (allegedly) if you do haha

JoR

Bi-Annual request to hopefully get a guest on on the Congo/Rwanda. Or, Sousa Jamba. Why doesn’t he answer his emails haha

GC

I did not know that! Thank you! $100/ep with a new URL every time sounds like an invitation to boundary testing but I will indeed bump up the baseline a bit!

One of the best interviews lately, super fascinating

Also seems like Iran won’t really have the option of serious negotiations because israel hates them and there is no reason to trust the us’ increasingly schizophrenic foreign policy

I was listening at work so maybe I missed it but was there any discussion of Raisi's suspicious death?
