Topic Frequency (the big hitters) & Weekly Content Scaffold Question/Recommendation

Hey BP crew! Question: what's the in-team vibe on how often you are hitting the same macro-level topics show-to-show? I ask because I'm one of those junkies who has consumed every BP/CP show released, and am finding myself quite desensitized and tired of tuning in to what sounds like homogeny in subjects day to day. Trump trials, campus protests, Israel/Gaza, Ukraine, etc. Not invalidating the content, coverage, or giving voice to the perspectives - just...I feel like it's starting to wade into SSDD territory, so highlighting it. I know it's not something likely to be adopted, but *personally* I'd love if we checked in on those ongoing subjects once a week (barring any truly breaking and major updates with material and time sensitive impact) in a "'Big shit everyone is talking about' Weekly Briefing". Why? to allocate more capacity towards the topics NOT being covered anywhere else, exposing BS, corruption, and/or little green men. You DO put a significant amount of time and effort in there, so not arguing that. Note: I am looking at this from a subscriber and full-show perspective, and fully appreciate that you do have to play the game a bit with the hot topics in your public YT clips. So, not a silver bullet, but sharing the thoughts of a millennial news junkie and huge fan of the entire BP team. You're spearheading the effort to save honest discourse in this country, and I thank you for that.

Race/sexism card?

Does Krystal feel the same way about people who say "everything is anti-semitism" as the people who say "you just don't like me because I'm black" or "you don't like me because I'm a woman and you're sexist"?

Gotta hear Krystal and Saagar's takes on the bear vs. man in the woods debate

I think I can guess the way both would answer, I'm interested in hearing both explanations and any discussion.

Larger Israel/ Palestine Conflict

Hi Krystal and Saagar, 1. Do you believe that Jews (specifically non mizrahi Jews) have a genetic/ indigenous tie to the Levant? If not, do you subscribe to the Khazar hypothesis? 2. What do you believe is the general reason for the conflict (starting from late 1800s-early 1900s)? Obviously a very complex question/ answer but do you tie it more to religion, land, colonialism or something else and why? I think it would be beneficial to hear your thoughts about the wider topic to contextualize your current thoughts. Thanks!

Too much on Israel-Palestine?

I’m a huge fan but this has become less of an American political news show and more of Israel-Palestine non stop. Is it bad that I could not care less what happens outside of our borders? When will the focus shift back to American news and issues?
