I just don’t know what all these content creators are thinking with the incessant pay walls. No one’s going to subscribe to like 25 podcasts at $7 to $10 a month each. Your content is not that great when there are others that don’t have a pay wall and provide similar quality. Similarly, your arguing that people should diversify their sources. How does that align with having a pay wall to access yours and others’ information?

This political podcast often examines the stories behind the headlines and explores some interpretations. The episodes detailing efforts to limit information, manipulate public opinion, and enforce conformity among political parties have been exceptional. The exposure of widespread social media censorship in the Twitter files demonstrates how far the Trump and Biden administrations have strayed from First Amendment principles and practices. The last two episodes - detailed, informative, and persuasive- focus on efforts by DNC officials and operatives to limit ballot access for Ralph Nader, Jill Stein, Gary Johnson to RFKJr., Cornel West, and small parties (Libertarian, No Labels, Green.) This cynical approach has now extended to efforts to ban Trump too. These episodes document how many Democratic Party mega-donors and leading politicians no longer believe in democratic principles or practices. It’s a stunning, tragic tale.

This is real journalism and investigative reporting, unbiased truth. Thank you for your bravery and courage. Resilience. Well done.

Always look forward to hearing Matt’s podcasts and his many contributions to speaking truth to power

Matt is one of the most important and rare entities in 2023 America—a journalist looking for truth.

First time listening to Matt, he is very good in topic and points. Will subscribe to his Substack.

Racket News covers important yet under-reported topics. Keep up the great work!

Great journalist

I don't agree with the title "corrupt or crazy". It's provocative without merit. Also, based on your (Matt's) recommendation I bought the book. I've been listening to this superficial, juvenile(like a kid throwing together a last minute book report) and there is so much depth and context left out. Matt, you are one of my favorite thinkers and we all get tired or bummed, or messed up, but please cool it with the sensationalism or you'll wind up like Rupert

Good job showing us the rest of the story. I found the expression describing the news media as belonging on a dung heap as accurate by my standard. I’m pleased to hear this podcast.
