Will Carlos be a frequent guest here?
I would guess not since they already have another podcast together: https://lara-murphy.com/podcast/
Weekend binging and digging on MurfDaug!
Keep Up the Good Word!
You guys really give me hope for the future. Any chance Carlos does a series on City of God? He really peaked my interest on those two eps of Lara-Murphy report.
Thanks! Do you mean a series at our podcast?
Wherever haha. I bought a copy of City of God but ended up with an abridged version and the language difference over time makes it a task to go through plus I’m more of an auditory learner. Carlos seems to really grasp the big picture and it doesn’t get any bigger than the spiritual dimension. Thanks for all your work.
Thanks Steve, I’ll pass this along to Carlos. He will appreciate your remarks.
MORE CARLOS MORE WISDOM!!!
Ah, the ol’ Radiation King…
Excellent episode with excellent stories and analyses from Carlos; thanks to both of you!
Bob I’ve really enjoyed your work and I’ll keep up with the podcast, but the “round table” conspiratorial stuff and the whole “politicians aren’t dumb or incompetent but are influenced by Satan” stuff was a bit… off-putting.
