My dear they know all of this. They don’t care at best and at worst they’re on their side.

Love your homepage btw.

I just love his show.

But, he doesn’t look anything like what I would have expected.

John Batchelor is awesome. I don’t get to listen to him as often as I like, but there is no other place for getting better information about world affairs. His Wiki bio describes him as a conservative, though I think he comes across as very even-handed.

They yanked Batchelor from KSFO, San Francisco, in the 6-9 time slot & replaced him with Hannity, as of Monday (yesterday) Batchelor is generally pretty interesting and challenging...and sometimes he gets obseeesed with things I really don;t care about. But I think that’s a dumb move because if you like Hannity enough to listen to his radio show at 6 pm, you would probably want to watch his TV show instead.

I myself am not a big Hannity fan, but if I was, it would definitely not be after listening to Rush & Levin.

Worse, KSFO put Beck in 9-12 pm and chopped out 2 hours of Redeye. This is altogether too much conservative programming and nobody needs to listen to doofus Beck if they listen to any of the others.

Welcome John Batchelor! I love your show.

There are many areas that you cover in depth that we otherwise wouldn’t hear about -internal developments in China, Iran, Israel, the global economy, Commercial Space, and military history with some of the best sources in their fields. Great stuff.

I’d recommend to all freepers to check out the John Batchelor radio show, also available on the web. (I have no affiliation with the show)

JBS is fantastic. Many conservative guests. No rants from the host. Great bump music. I don’t listen live any more. They usually have the podcasts up not long after each hour of the show completes. Podcasts have no commercials!

Joscelyn has been pumping up this Khorasan Group fraud lately. I don’t think he’s willfully misleading, but he needs to double check his sources.

JBS is the perfect variety show for me with; history, war, economics, space, news, great authors, and lots of politics. I listen to most of the podcasts and recommend them to anyone with the time.

JBS is great. The show goes in depth on a given topic which is a rarity with most programs. History, politics, current events. It’s “roast beef” compared to most shows which run more toward “junk food” topics ( what are the Kardashians doing).
