Someone suggested I do a livestream Popular Front AMA for everyone here. Worth doing? Let me know and we can try and work out a good time and date.

Edit: I think the people saying it'd probably be too hard to co-ordinate live are right. So, as suggested by many, we'll do another AMA bonus episode. It's been a while and we have a lot of new people here so let's do it. 

As I sent this post to ALL Patreons this bonus episode, as a one off, will go out for all Patreons too. 

So, send questions below and I'll get them answered for next week's bonus episode. BONUS tier, please listen to the other two AMA episodes to avoid asking questions that have been answered. Cheers.


EDIT 2: Thanks for questions. Recorded this today. Will up later.

Maybe we also combine it with /roastme ;)?

If people are on the discord channel they can ask you questions there (say, what happened to your bike?) -- I'd say it is only worth your while if that is an effective way of attracting more attention to PF, but I could not say whether it is or it is not.

Perhaps it could be a cool thing to do as an additional podcast release rather than a livestream. Possibly a bigger audience that way, and more questions to answer. Could just get some questions in first, and then go about answering them for a podcast release.

I have enjoyed the AMA podcasts. Live could be difficult to get timing that works for all those interested but I do like an audio format AMA besides just discord chat

I think it’s a cool idea. If it works with timing etc

Do you want questions via here, email, pigeon, twatter? What's the best way fella?

Do you think that nuclear weapons are a good or bad thing when it comes to world stability? Some argue that the presences of unclear weapons prevented a Third World War for breaking out between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. and others point to their presence on the Korean Peninsula as only heightening tensions there. What is your opinion of nuclear weapons over all?

How willing have you found people to be guests on the show? Do people turn you down? If so for what reason? I know if I was hyper focused on a niche topic I’d jump at the chance to talk about it anytime haha.

What's the most likely outcome of the situation in Syria between the Turks, Syrians, and the Kurds?

What do think will be the implications for trump's recognition of the Golan heights as Israel's territory? Do you think this will spark a future conflict between Syria and Israel?

Here’s my first question... how do I access the previous AMAs so I can listen to be sure I’m not repeative? What’s the best way?

Ok. What's your favourite cheese? What football team do you support? Can the legacy MSM be fixed? What are your plans going forward..as in will you be looking to report from conflict zones again? Have you thought of a UK meet up for patreons and listeners? Why did vice, seemingly, lay off so many good journalists? Who in news do you actually trust? Do you fear serious civil unrest is a possibility in a western democracy? How did you get into journalism? Does your NUJ membership do anything for you (speaking as a NUJ press card holder) ? What can be done about the bubbles that people live in?

If you have the patreon RSS feed in a podcast app you should be able to scroll back and see them. If not you can scroll down the patreon page until you see them and play them in a web browser.

Ok my question... of all the situations, groups, etc you’ve covered which had the greatest impact on you personally and why?

Do you think journalism will eventually correct its failings and go back to serious and factual reporting as opposed to what's being churned out now?

Do you think PF will get more journalists on board with the project? Doing dispatches, docs, etc. Obviously if that means PF would have to sell its soul then fuck that. Remember, you 100% have the support of the wider PF community. Up the PF!

Have you read Democratic Confederalism or any of the works of Murray Bookchin? Do you think these are viable options for how a society could be structured and what do you think of how the Syrian Kurds are implementing these ideas?

What is the strangest/weirdest/spookiest thing that has happened to you? What drug use have you seen in combat zones?
