🥁🥁🥁 please…

Today guest host Will Kherbek (who was our guest on Ep #21) and Ant are joined by Vincent Bevins, author of the timely and essential Jakarta Method. In the Jakarta Method the former Washington Post journalist sketches a Cold War history of U.S. antagonism against democratic governments of the Third World, and the terrible human cost of the CIA's anti-Communist paranoia. 

Also, Sam and Dan chat some rubbish at the beginning and end.
