    Two of their episodes I particularly like are "Episode 16: Way Down in Kosovo" where Brace interviews an American journalist living in the Balkans, Serbia I think, about how Bill Clinton's bombing campaign in the Yugoslav Wars was indiscriminate and a cynical ploy to not lose popularity at home, and about the general destitution that liberal reforms have caused in the balkans. And then "Episode 111: Nightmarch" where Brace interviews a journalist who embedded with, iirc, a group of the Naxalites, a Maoist insurgency in India. Those are both patreon episodes, so you'll have to go to blackepsteinfeed to get 'em (or subscribe, I guess, but I could never advocate paying $5 a month for a podcast).

    I don't remember them as well but they've got episodes about Assange's imprisonment and also Deutsche Bank that I remember liking. But I like the show generally, I've listened to all of it. Honestly, listening in order from episode 1 as the ongoing saga of Jeffrey Epstein unfolds is crazy-making all on its own.

    I can't remember exactly now, but they had a journalist on and were talking about the Steele dossier, and how fake stories like that are circulated all the time, but mainstream press don't pick them up because when it comes out as fake it'll damage their credibility. But with Trump and the dossier in particular, truth no longer seemed to matter. I think it might've been "Episode 195: The Russia House" but I'm not sure.
