    Journalistic gold
    Love this podcast. Rania is bold and bright and deserves our attention!
  • Wilhomenah
    We’re not all leftists, Rania
    Rania made a comment in the last episode that her audience was made up of leftists, mostly from N America. I am a Traditional Catholic who voted for President Trump, so I am not a leftist. I do enjoy this show though. I am pro-peace and this show supports dialogues that help us achieve that and. Pax hominibis bonae voluntatis.

    Rania is an energetic interviewer hosting informed guests who passionately share their knowledge and expertise. I’m consistently impressed with the quality of information provided by both Rania and those she has on her show. If you are interested in hearing the Palestinian perspective on what’s happening on n the Middle East this is your show. But it’s not just about Gaza, Dispatches also covers global issues and important current events from the U.S. Stop scrolling and check it out. Full episodes are on Patreon and worth the small subscription price.

    Big fan of Rania
    Guests you don’t see on other podcasts
  • Vandal007
    Great guests
    She has excellent and surprisng guest who are full of insight. And, she let's them talk and explain rather than seeking 'gotcha' moments. Only quibble, is she can speed talk a bit.
  • samanthaaaaf
    5 Stars
    Rania gives an honest, informative and thorough reporting on Israel's genocide on Palestine. Guests on the podcast offer great insight as well
  • Tanker5711
    Honest
    This is an honest , accurate , secular and pragmatic explanation of the real players and their true capacity in the Arab / Israeli conflict.
  • caligula blushes
    Rania…after the Russian blood money
    Poor Rania, her Russian funding dried up after Russia invaded Ukraine. I cry a little for you.
  • Tomyamg00m
    If reality is important to you, this is your show.
    BT is a rock solid source of actual news and full scope context. if your field your brain has been turned to mush by watching so called commercial "mainstream" news, this is where you start your brain restoration.
  • Ala amr
    Great show informative
    Great show and gives different views, well prepared and I liked the notes with time stamps. I also would like to propose that you make some shorter episodes as this might deter many from following. I also like to add that you need to add people from other countries when you talk about those countries, to be more credible. Also to listen to the views of the people in Europe and other countries. Do you think they are dump and crazy and just follow us government blindly! I started listening to your podcast and liked ina way your approach for fighting capitalism, but what I cannot digest is your last episode where you are celebrating the return of Syrian tyrant to the Arab league. I can understand that some leaders are using this as a pressure on Syria and there may be conditions that we are not aware of. But for God’s sake he will never be forgiven until he fixes what he did to his county and his peoples. But it does not seem so, as he considers his return as victory to Iran, China and Russia. I hope you do not celebrate villains
  • Paul Ruffner
    I don’t do half episodes.
    I can’t afford Patreon, for starters. I realize it’s one of the only ways to monetize podcast content reliably, and I’m very sympathetic to the need. But offering people half episodes, and telling them the rest is available behind a pay wall, is extremely insulting. This was my favorite current events podcast. I have now unsubscribed, deleted it from my library, and won’t come back even if the episode situation changes. Once bitten, twice shy.
  • StopMovingAndListen
    Nix Daniel Bessmer
    Excellent interview as always, but Daniel Bessemer is promoting division between Americans. The Rage Against the War rally proves that we can come together for common good issues. He profits from division is the only way I can understand his limited vision. Please cross him off the list.
  • strandedonthiscontinent
    Great interviews
    Rania is one of the best interviewers out there. She is sympathetic and a good listener and allows people with divergent views from hers to present their ideas.

  • EuphoniusWail
    Wonderful, important non-mainstream reporting
    Thank you sister Rania for your excellent reporting. I deeply appreciate your kind and cheerful approach to your interviews. Your warm smile builds trust in interviews. I always look forward to your reports!
  • HB@Cozy
    Amazing and Informative Show
    I could not recommend any highly this show. I really appreciate any highly this show. Very few have the clarity and the informative mosaic of guests with so much insight. Thank you for having a show that represent my viewpoint in this world
