I know multiple people that listen to it, I'm not personally interested but I want to understand what they're absorbing from it.

I know it's by Robert (Fed) Evans, but is much of an obvious fed influence?

EDIT: I just read a bunch of recent episode titles and based on the topics it's not obviously drenched in anti-communism so that's good.

Many episodes are boilerplate "this dude was evil." Where it gets sticky is when the subject was a target of US aggression or propaganda. Then he shows his colors

    From memory the episode on the School of the Americas was good and they talked about the genocides inspired by the SotA. However it was also the bastard of the episode, so maybe that's why.

    Yeah. He's good sometimes, he's bad other times. If you go in understanding his biases - sort of individualist psuedo-anarchist but drinks the state department coolaid more than he sould kind of thing - it can be entertaining, and a decent touch-off point for doing a bit more in depth reading on a subject.
