Avoiding Pigeonhole of Conspiracy Theorist
When you present someone with a non-corporately endorsed explanation of current or historical events, how do you explain to them (in an effort to win their trust) how often the American public has been boldly lied to (USS Maine, Lusitania, Gulf of Tonkin, WMD, etc.) without the individual using those cited examples against you?
How About Info on Changing America
It's helpful to receive info on how the powers that be lie to and manipulate us. But what good does it do this country to only hear about the constant graft and BS? As a past lobbyist for an NGO, I'm really surprised that nearly everyone I know has no idea how to apply pressure to lawmakers to act in the public interest. There is already a chance you alienate potential subscribers by covering the news you do, so why don't you flip that trend? Together you guys can pick a proposed law weekly, advise on its status, and help your listeners understand what we can do to help move it on. You have a captive audience of subscribers who don't want to preserve the status quo. As a group, we could begin to understand we don't just have to just take it. If people like what you advise them, it isn't that different from listening to your opinions now except we can try to do something about it.
Best Podcast Ever
Hey Krystal & Saagar - first off, absolutely love the show and haven't missed one since you launched Breaking Points. I think that every single person could benefit from listening to just one of your shows. As a bi-partisan show, you both tend to agree on A LOT of topics (which I love) but might just differ on how you ultimately get to the end result. Question - are there any topics (or one single topic) you don't see eye to eye on at all? If so, what advice do you have for the viewers on how to combat difference in opinions? Thanks so much!
