Description

Overview
Weekly podcast by Ross Coulthart (Australian investigative journalist) and Bryce Zabel (Hollywood producer/screenwriter). Since 2022, one of the most influential UAP podcasts.

Format
News review + analysis + interviews. Coulthart provides investigative depth, Zabel historical-cultural context. Regular 'minisodes' for quick news updates. Guests: congress members, whistleblowers, researchers.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Coulthart's journalistic credentials (Walkley Award) lend analytical weight. Good mix of news and context. However: Coulthart tends toward dramatic phrasing ('biggest story in human history'). Zabel occasionally brings Hollywood perspective rather than facts.
