And acted as if he was aware he had a guest, let alone prepared, asked tailored questions, etc I mean simply interacting in a conversational style with another present person, he reverts to his monologue with invited guest sitting listening as though they weren’t there. It’s obvious this is not intentional, that is, I don’t believe he has guests on intending to ignore them and go into ‘Tom explains everything’ mode. I don’t know nearly enough about the topic to attempt to diagnose what causes him to continually behave this way, nor are such exterior armchair diagnostics appropriate, but for whatever reason it’s just the way he is and it will never change. I still get TONS of value from the pod and his work, and depending on how bad it is from ep to ep I can tolerate the painful cringe of listening to such gross violations of both host/guest and standard adult human conversational norms (had to bail on the most recent re: BTC mining it was so bad.) I’ve accepted it, will always give a listen and ALWAYS read his work, and can bemoan what could be (if he didn’t have whatever communication quirks he has) but that’s a waste of time. Like anything, take what’s useful, toss what isn’t. If it becomes unlistenable (I.e. like the last one) then it does.

Love the take on the internal workings of the federal reserve, not just end the fed. Which we all agree is preferable.

Great analysis of geopolitical/financial issues. I appreciate the commentary and interviews from an ancap not letting philosophy get in the way of reality. Keep it coming!

Tom has a lot of knowledge up in his brain but he just won’t keep quiet and let his guests speak.. he comes off as this guy who tries to show that he knows more. It’s annoying

I say this pod for the first time and decided to give a listen to the 1/6/2023 episode, hoping to get some red pill stuff but what treated me was nothing but conspiracy garbage. Not even sure how the host is evading a stint in the mental ward, but he seems to be. Don’t waste your time on this pod unless you like listening to mentally unstable people.

He helped clarify some issues I have been puzzled about since 2001 and the Iraq invasion. Definitely he put some light on some very dark corners of geopolitics.

Insightful perspective on how the world really works. Davos!

The guest is terrific. The host is an insecure blow hard who keeps cutting off the guest to prove he knows more. Ridiculous. The host needs to learn from this guy.

I enjoy your podcast! It would be utterly fascinating to hear you talk with Dr. Denis Rancourt, former professor of Physics at Ottawa. I wonder how you’d agree and disagree about how the current geopolitical situation will like play out.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

So the host is going to have James Kunstler on, pretend to get his opinion, and then talk over him with his ridiculous viewpoints. Well done 🙄 How rude and obnoxious can you get? Kunstler knows way more that you do so listen to his thoughts so the viewers can enjoy him. That’s why I’m here...not to hear the host’s nutty opinions!

Rants in #25 about Italy not taking care of old people, while pretending to passionately be a (wannabe) Italian. Then rants against Trump for trying to get all Covid treatments for Americans. So Italy gov't bad for not taking care of it's people. And Trump USA bad for trying to take care of it's people. Loud-mounted and ill-informed blather by Tom Luongo.

A host who can’t shut up and who talks over his guests and thinks he’s brilliant. He believes he’s discovered truth because he pushes Whig history, known as “Libertarianism”, which is a discredited, outdated justification for naked Usury. He has no historical understanding of Savonarola or the Medici’s conflict. Shallow and loud if that’s what you enjoy, tune in.

This is a solid podcast with original insights on markets, politics, culture, etc.

Explains how the world really works.

Eye opening content to consider.
