“This is the largest land war in Europe since World War II. And how much coverage does it get on the news? Almost none.”

“The name of this podcast is called the Conservative Skeptic. Well, I’m a skeptic.”

Episode 2 opens with Veterans Day — and with England’s version of it, Remembrance Day: the bugler playing the Last Post before the football matches, and the poppies on every player’s jersey, a recognition Jim says we don’t do here and probably should do more often. From there he takes one short pass at the election just ended and why, with divided government, nothing much changes for the next two years — and then sets out what this show is actually for: skepticism, atheism, and the stories American coverage skips, from Israel’s elections to the war in Ukraine. Runtime: about 10 minutes. New episodes every Wednesday at 2 p.m. Arizona time.

Questions, comments, topic ideas — Jim reads all the comments on the site and answers when he can.
