In just three days, the Malcontent News Russia-Ukraine War Update Podcast is the 54th most listened-to Daily News update on Apple.

How big of a deal is that? Apple iTunes hosts over 700,000 podcasts, and we haven't done any promotion outside of our audience. Additionally, we have almost 3X more listeners on Spotify, where we first appeared 10 days ago.

We now rank ahead of Sky News, AP Newswatch, CBS News, The View, Politico Dispatch, and CNN Breaking News. We share the same space with The News with Shepard Smith, KQED, CBS Mornings, and NPR's State of Ukraine. (data tracked by Chartable, August 17, 2022)

The truth matters - and your comment is deeply appreciated. We're always pained on TikTok when we see comments like, "you only report the good news," or, "why don't you ever cover when Ukraine does something bad." Yes, we want Ukraine to win the war because we believe the current situation is the greatest threat to European stability since the Cold War. Additionally, prior to many people discovering us, we assessed World War III started in 2012 and is being fought non-kinetically. Russia is winning in the irregular warfare space, and it isn't even close. But we consistently call out Ukrainian failures, investigate accusations and evidence of war crimes, and report on them when they happen. We have investigated videos and accusations with the same rigor as when Russia is accused and with the same critical eye. We're also not afraid to say, "we don't know," and stay in our lanes. The truth matters - and part of the truth is - the Russian Ministry of Defense is, how do I say this charitably... Lacks self-awareness, is unwilling to adapt, alienates its coworkers, and is in need of performance improvement. We recommend a Performance Improve Program with a 90-day probationary period.
