Abby & Robbie Martin
Since 2010, siblings and journalists Abby Martin and Robbie Martin have been doing Media Roots Radio, a political podcast with a critical eye on US foreign policy, political partisanship and what people can do to fight back. Conversational, controversial, passionate and explicit, Media Roots stands apart from the majority of podcasts coming from a similar point of view.

Trump Admin Preparing First Strike on North Korea, Anthrax Fear Mongering & Propaganda
Robbie and Abby Martin talk about the Trump administration's disturbing escalation of threats and provocations against North Korea, including a new national security document proposal for an escalation against Iran and North Korea and leaks about a "bloody nose attack" to preemptively bomb Kim Jong-Un's nuclear capabilities, which would put tens of millions of lives on the brink of annihilation. They also discuss the eerily similar propaganda across the corporate media about North Korea's preparation of anthrax tipped ICBM missiles, and how reminiscent it is of the buildup to the Iraq war.
