Recent Reviews
  • Davidg57888888
    The Duran is Excellent
    Neocons, neoliberals, warmongers, and deep staters all hate The Duran, and for good reason. Alexander Mercouris examines their statements and writings and asks questions that members of the national security establishment would never dare ask themselves. I’ve learned a lot about international relations and diplomacy by listening to Alexander Mercouris and the interviews he’s conducted. If you want to learn about the world, if you want to consider other perspectives, as opposed to just accepting the threadbare neocon narrative coming out of Washington, then tune into The Duran.
  • Opierod6000
    Laughably One Sided
    Propaganda is not “news” nor “facts”, this podcast proves it.
  • No11111166666
    Trump is omniscient
    Will trump be able to be the angel that he is? Or will the deep state not let him do all the great things we as the duran know he wants to do... big time dummies
  • Charvl
    Worthless.
    I would like the 20 minutes of wasted time of my life back after listening to this garbage. The premise is all is lost so give uo now and if the bully is taking your lunch money let him do it to avoid further bloodshed. Useless Russian B.S. Dont wate your time.
  • Dima T
    Their record of accuracy speaks for itself
    I read reviews about how this podcast is bought and paid for Russian propaganda. If this is true, then why does their analysis and their predictions prove over and over again to be so accurate? Right now the world needs diplomacy and peace. Understanding what is really happening is the necessary starting point.
  • Makanda2
    France
    Always on target but here it is important to know that Le Pen and Zemmour are pro-Israel, the left not so much. Also cannot imagine why you have Martin Armstrong on, he is no economist, a con artist.
  • Sequoiagaia
    Best reports out there
    Real news. Top notch commentaries
  • EVILJOE222222
    Grifters pontificating
    At first I thought these guys were just self-important commentators who seem to have a pro-Russian agenda. But the more I looked into them, the more I saw they were cashing in on this drivel. Check out “who are the Duran” by Professor Gerdes Explains on YouTube. He sums um how intellectually irresponsible and biased these guys are.
  • yopyopyop
    Much needed analysis
    People in the United States need to hear these guys. Much recommended.
  • Serre Gama
    Review of the Duran
    I have found this podcast to be sharp, witty, in touch with current affairs, willing to challenge msm narrative and always ready to admit to error in the rare occasion they make one. Would recommend it to anyone without second thoughts.
  • Long Gamma
    This is not ‘68
    Your interview with Jeffrey Sachs, which tried to argue that the bratty, often PAID for, protests at the IVY’s and other universities is somehow analogous to 1968/1972 is complete and utter horseshiite. On the ground interviews are laughable with these people. These kids have no idea why they are protesting and could not identify the West Bank or Gaza on a map if their lives depended on it. Shame on all of you for ginning up a narrative that is just false. Crowdsondemand.com
  • Aanwadecescakl799
    Well it’s entertaining.
    The effete Englishman with the ‘sources’ is a former lawyer disbarred for forgery. So imaginative storytelling is a hobby of his.
  • akdhkane
    from the KGBs lips to your ears
    A transparent propaganda outlet for the KGB. Alex Ms diatribes are veiled in intellectual thought and yet curiously, meticulously and passionately one sided. do not trust
  • SLO John
    An exceptional source
    I have been a member of the Duran community with a subscription to Locals since the beginning of the Ukraine war in early two years ago. I am so happy that they are publishing a podcast because I enjoy listening to them while I’m driving.
  • Phoenix hiker
    Solid intelligent and objective world news
    Thank you for providing a counter to the corporate news and propaganda of the Mainstream media in the United States. The neocons need to figure out a way to live in this world as equals with other countries. This podcast supports peace on earth.
  • NNAT17
    Very biased
    Let me summarize for you. Russia, China, Iran - good. US, Israel, Germany - bad.

    Trumps reelection
    Jack Smith at all has guaranteed trumps reelection to the presidency. I hope they’re happy.
  • 637?;!:"92!5!;7
    Good but biased
    I listen to the podcast everyday but it’s as biased as the news sources it makes fun of, just from an anti-west standpoint. They also continuously argue against a pro-west straw man, for instance saying prigozhins “coup” isn’t a coup like western media is saying: however no one is saying that but them, because a rebellion isn’t a coup. All in all I was hoping for a geopolitics podcast without bias, but I guess I just have to settle with two very biased podcasts.
  • Shikatun65
    Balanced and well researched.
    The Duran has become a regular “fix” for me!
  • wjc437
    Extremely idealogical
    I used to be a fan until I realized the truth is less of a priority than their ideology. They went on and on and on about how Russia was going to win the war and how bad the west is. Haven't listened to it a little while but I'll bet the episode you listen to will be anti west and probably pro-Russian. They can't admit or maybe even realize when they're flat out wrong.
  • MBmbmbyrne
    My GOTO for geopolitical insight
    Informative and entertaining. I was frustrated by my news sources. These guys just lay it out. If you are particularly interested in Ukraine war and euro politics and shenanigans, I recommend it highly. Alexander usually does a rundown on the Russo/ Ukraine war on the ground, then they cover geopolitical issues of the day. I don’t always agree, but they are gentleman who can handle a debate. Great podcast and usually short.
  • BnBTerry
    I wanna see any film banned by a country
    Boris can sell a film,I want to see his latest work on a subject I have limited knowledge. His zest for his work is inspiring.
  • JRDanbury
    Best analysis
    Both Alexanders give best analysis of current events. MSM with all their resources cannot even come close The Duran
  • Drew_Drewson
    Amazing insight that isn’t just blue check talking points
    100% worth it if you want to hear a prospective that is independent and informed.
  • Chipote
    The best podcast on geopolitics.
    The Duran is the best podcast on geopolitics. I miss Alexander Mercouris talkshows. Why you don’t publish it here?
  • MMKINDALLAS
    This podcast will make you smarter
    The Duran is my favorite podcast. Listening to it will make you so far ahead of the curve.
  • SueGBK
    China
    I have been to China twice. I have friends who have lived in China. I was not allowed to take photographs in a shopping mall. I do not believe Patrick Lancaster would be allowed in the labs in Wuhan. Basically, my personal experiences are inconsistent with the information presented in this podcast.
  • CdrDet
    You do the research, so I don’t have to
    I sincerely appreciate your work. You cut through the geopolitical disinformation clutter, so that I can better understand how all sides in the current world crisis are applying their elements of power. The corporate media is a bunch of cheerleaders, whereas you provide solid analysis. Thank You
  • mark.eddy
    The Perfect Ones
    These guys get the audience as close to reality of things geopolitically as they possibly can. When they don’t know, they don’t fabricate a lie to sound authoritative, they tell you what they honestly think hypothetically and/or potentially. Very refreshing to hear honest takes in a world where people lie for their political agenda. The Durand agenda is the Truth!
  • kaythrine
    Annoying music at end
    Good podcast but would be better if the annoying music at end was removed.
  • Dan_Reviews701
    Great insights!
    I really enjoy and appreciate their insight on geopolitics. It’s difficult to find good sources for European political and economic issues. They discuss subjects and ask questions the mainstream media seems to be avoiding.
  • Feral Rhetor
    Podcast as Life Preserver
    Can’t write enough about these two intelligent souls. They offer excellent geopolitical analysis and great guests especially during these unsettling times as censorship and manufactured consent in so called liberal democracies have reached new heights of absurdity combined with fear. Additionally, they are very appreciative of their adoring fans and incorporate comments and questions freely into their live streams. Cool guys!
  • thread567
    Alexander
    Am always impressed by Alexander’s ability to listen to other people and understand what they are saying. A rare quality these days.
  • Staggered 01
    Great source of information and opinion
    Podcast is great. Unfortunately Alexander is either always waiting to talk or interrupting. Needs a little bit of balance and to let Alex get his questions out and give his take. That being said, I appreciate both of their knowledge and insight. Minor gripe, but it’s every show.
  • shadowfakx
    An Island of Reality in a sea of Made up Things
    ….and more importantly, omissions. They are just 2 men, among a growing few, that offer a small but cogent counterbalance to Argemegdon ( sp? ). This ain’t hyperbole when I say this.
  • Maximum Gravity
    Refreshing
    I just found this show. Some deep thinking here, something almost impossible to find anywhere including Fox.
  • Ariovistus
    Unmatched
    True analysis w/out globalist pablum.
  • Tom Campion
    The best
    The best geopolitical podcast available.
  • Mis Misty
    A joke
    If you give money for this crap, you must be a democrat! What a joke.
  • TX Bill Fan
    A Very refreshing different perspective
    I listen to the Duran for a number of reasons. One because it is the only podcast which covers international events and is not solely US-centric (however their coverage of US political issues is first rate). The 2nd is because it offers, in a very intelligent way, a perspective which is not the herd mentality of the conventional US media. And finally I find those on the show witty and entertaining. It’s one of the best podcasts available on ITunes for those interested in current events and for independent thinkers.

    Terrible
  • burnt dinner
    Duran is “the tops”
    The Duran is THE BEST news commentator program out there. Current events discussed in a sane, friendly, conversational manner. In DEPTH! The Duran is my first stop for news. Love the international perspective and the introduction of topics that are never discussed on MSM. Their knowledge of history is also the welcome “spice” added to all of their commentary. BRAVO!!
  • showaqha
    Woo hoo! Truth!
    Finally some Truth and common sense.
  • elv1960
    Escape the Neocon Think Tank propaganda. Keep informed about international affairs.
    This is an alternative to the ubiquitous neocon think-tank propaganda that pervades western media. Plus the Duran guys are so jovial. They sift through all the NYT and Guardian garbage so you don’t have to, tell you what’s bogus. I’ve learned so much from them; they have a common sense take on things. They’re not right or left, just good-natured geopolitics nerds. The best thing is, they’re not brainwashed SJW millennials who whine about Trump because he wants to enforce the border. Listen to this podcast to keep informed about world happenings; the junk on cable TV is worthless and NYT has become irrational.
  • pmadz
    Great
