    Fascinsting
    I look forward to learning from John and his guests every week. He’s deepened my understanding of the urban war being fought by people I love.

    Informative and enlightening
    Really great podcast that gives you insights to really understand the mechanics of what the situation is in and the mechanics of the battefields that no other shows delve into. Also good that Spencer is one of the Churchills of our day that has the moral clarity to speak truth to power.

    Incredible podcast!
    Absolutely incredible conversations on the art and science of urban warfare and more so the dissecting of UW and all its facets. After hearing John on Jockos podcast I binged this one!

    Zionist propaganda
    John Spencer is a psychopath who has as much Palestinian blood on his hands as his best friend Benjamin Netanyahu. They both belong in The Hague.

    John is a gem
    I’d follow this man into any battle. At a time when the mainstream narrative wants to wash away history, John is there with professionalism, honesty, and conviction for what’s right. I found him through Sam Harris, and am so grateful. Thank you, John for generously providing us with your knowledge and guidance during such a difficult moment. You’re a beacon of truth and solidarity for Western values. We need you, and you headed the call. 💪🫶❤️‍🩹

    Okay
    It was okay until they started shilling Zionist propaganda. Unsubscribed.

    Law of Armed Conflict
    The latest episode late Nov 2023 was very enlightening and well discussed. John Spencer does a great job on Urban Warfare in general. A topic that he clearly is passionate about.

    Practical views on urbanization
    Globalization was a big topic of my business studies about 15 years ago. I realized that the globalization story was an urbanization story. While this podcast has an obvious military angle, the cross disciplinary approach makes it the best source for understanding urbanization around the globe.

    Incredible
    This smart gentleman and scholar knows his stuff inside and out. I’m amazed with his knowledge, and you just know he has passion behind it making it enjoyable to listen. I highly recommend listening.
  • TheSurlyOne
    Approachable, digestible.
    Make your commute a mini-LPD. Other commuters and the gate guards may become confused when they see you arguing with/concurring with your radio.

    Super interesting
    I don’t have a military background but enjoy military podcasts. John Spencer really makes the show interesting because of his obvious interest, knowledge, and excitement about the topics covered. Definitely a niche topic, but worth a listen at least once to see if it fits your fancy.
  • RonaldPE
    Excellent, timely topics
    Engaging guests encompassing a wide spectrum of experts and ideas! As the world increasingly urbanizes, adapting every service including the military will become crucial. Sharing research, knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned helps create a shared understanding. Ultimately this can and has lead to more peaceful international relations.

    If you want to be a relevant warrior, this is an essential exploration of modern combat.

    Awesome content
    It’s interesting material. I gave 4 stars because the host is not well spoken which makes it a bit difficult to listen to.
  • LuckyWarrier
    Great Topic
    Great topic for modern war; looking forward to hearing more.
  • PLCMan2
    Great Podcast
    Interesting how much similarities between an organism/ecosystem and a city. Will be interested in more Podcasts to come. Interesting the techniques to either defend a city or cripple a city tie back to these two systems and which model depicts it better. A must listen for sure.

    A must listen
