The growing jungle of podcasts out there is unfortunately not unsustainable from a listener's perspective (anyone with a busy life just cannot consume five or six hours of podcasts on a daily basis). That said, many podcasters are more and more relying on having "guests" often out to promote their own narrow viewpoint (or worse, on a bit of a "book tour"). These podcasters, also pretty slick in their own right, forget to challenge these writers and fellow content generators, treating them a bit too much like "guests". At one point, as Mr. Lista was monologuing and weaving his own self-absorbed tapestry, I wondered if Tara was even awake. She sort of came to, and moved on, to a different topic, with a zillion things left dangling. His rant had been fairly long, I will admit, but I think anyone with a journalistic hat nearby, would have challenged him, not only on his gratuitous and undetailed comment about Jordan Peterson, but REALLY (?) about his putting Dr. Peterson in the same bag as Andrew Tate. Good heavens, what stale and uninspired brain drummed that up?? The podcast may have been good for a few additional book sales, but it was pretty divisive, despite its pretending to be otherwise. I wish him well, and beyond that, I wish him to have just one-tenth the positive impact that Jordan Peterson has had on a (still) largely forgotten segment of the male population, especially young ones on the edge. Of course, Tara might have pushed the guy a bit harder, even if guests are not always easy to come by. Overall, I want to hear a bit less reverence in these podcasts, a bit more challenge, and if the "guests" don't come back, who cares, we will at least have heard a tiny bit of debate on the occasion they were there.
The freedom convoy to Ottawa revealed who the true leaders of the Canadian people. Politicians failed miserably leaving a vacuum in many people's lives.
I noticed the interviewee, Michael Lista, assumed there are only two genders. There truly is hope for this world for a return to a rational basis instead of one based on the vagaries of feelings. The interview makes me want to seek out “Barfly” to see what else he says.
