Tldr: the podcast had a truly excellent start, but it's too bad it didn't continue in the same fashion. The first ten episodes of the podcast describes the terrible prospect of the US descending (again) into civil war. It made a convincing, if rather terrifying, case that this was a probable future - and it still is, perhaps now more than it had been at the time of production. Despite the very grim outlook in those episodes, I thoroughly appreciated Robert Evan's effort laying out the various scenarios, going into the nasty details, and at the same time giving some hope that it may not be too late to change course. Regardless of minor production issues (probably due to low budget), and the darkness of the subject, those first ten episodes are gold. It's important stuff, and anyone worried about the current far right trend in the US should definitely listen to it. Five stars there, definitely highly recommended.Robert Evans could have left it at that, or perhaps adding some episodes now and then to keep the podcast up to date with recent events. He is great if left to himself, researching topics indepth, and presenting the results as he did in those first episodes. He certainly has the chops to pull that off, writing the narrative, and the slightly menacing voice to present it. If he had needed the funds to do so, I would have been happy to chip in, and I'm sure many others would have done the same. "The War on Everyone" (which I also strongly recommend!) raised over $40K, which should tell you something. Unfortunately, Robert somehow decided not to follow that course. There were a few good episodes initially, but the podcast has since taken a turn for the worse. Nowadays, it bears a striking resemblance to "Behind the bastards", with often poorly researched topics, not-so-great guests, and a team that doesn't make the episodes tick. It's just that it has become an entirely different show, and one that I'm really interested to listen to anymore.
