  2. Mr Mullen,
    Maybe you should eat a couple of curry wursts and slam a few shots of schnapps before the next podcast.
    Sheesh, your mumbling put me to sleep, and I didnt wake up until Louie-Louie

  3. Dear mr Walter White, I think you should not do another podcast just on your own. It gets kinda boring when you just read the news. What gave this podcast a real kick was the outspoken personal views of the kinds of mr Dunbar, Mattian, Cameron and of course youself! If you have to do it on your own then spend half of the time reading the news and the other half offering your views about it! otherwise it’s much quicker to turn to civil.ge just to find out what’s going on.

  4. Mr. Mulen,
    I am the managing editor of Veterans Today, and pay close attention Georgia and the Caucas in general. I do also listen to your podcast when I have time. Despite its overly pro-Sakashvili slant, and your overly zealous contributors, especially that girl, I think it does serve a purpose. However, in order to provide a more concise and up-to-date review of political events in Georgia, I fail to understand why you do not have a professional Tbilisi based journalist on your panel. I recommend that you consider Mr. Jeffery Silverman, who you may or may not know, to have an opportunity to share his wealth of knowledge.A long time resident of Georgia and former adviser to Sakashvili and is an expert on all things military, being a decorated solider. In order to improve, you must hear the truth.
    Over and out.
    Jim W Dean
