It's sort of like Intercepted which is one of the podcasts from The Intercept.
It was started by Jeremy Scahill who is really good. He's one of the
journalists who got his start with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now and went on to
do some really fine independent reporting. The podcast took its usual summer
break and then he didn't come back immediately so I think two people
substituted for him on two separate episodes and then, nothing. I read stuff
from The Intercept all the time, watch Glenn Greenwald's System Access there,
listen to the podcast, Deconstructed, but nowhere is there a word about what
happened to Jeremy Scahill. Weird!
And as for Loud and Clear, did they really suddenly lose sponsors or was the
program discontinued for some other reason?

I suppose that is pretty loud and clear. You can't get the show either
on the radio nor in its podcast form because the show no longer exists.

How do you know that Sputnik cancelled the show?

Miriam, nothing is being "blocked". There have been no episodes since
September 1, because Sputnik canceled the show.

I answered this before, but I think it was blocked. I have used both feeds.
Neither works. Furthermore, Humanware said that neither one would work. I did
switch, however, from the one that said only Brian Becker, to the one that
said John Kariakou and Brian Becker, just to be sure. It makes no difference.
The last episode that I can find is one from many weeks ago.

Try doing another search for it on your Stream. I just did that. I searched
for the phrase, loud and clear. I got eight results and two of them stated
right in the title that Brian Becker was a host. I am thinking, but I don't
know, that perhaps they gave up the feed that they were using for some reason
or another and started a new one. If that is the case then if you subscribe
to the other one you just might start getting it again.

Loud and Clear is a news and information radio program and a podcast
which is broadcast on Sputnik News. Sputnik News is a Russian
sponsored state radio station, just like the BBC is a British state
sponsored radio broadcast system and NPR is an American state
sponsored radio broadcasting system. The two moderators on Loud and
Clear are Brian Becker and John Kariakou. Brian Becker is a member of
The Answer Coalition, a left leaning organization. John Kariakou is a
former CIA agent who blew the whistle on CIA torture and, for that
reason, was prosecuted and jailed. The people who appear on the
program are many of the same people whose articles I post like Max
Blumenthal and Aaron Mate. Richard Wolff, people from Code Pink,
other economists, an expert on nuclear energy, Kevin Gestola, and
many more whom I can't think of. There are also some people whom I
don't know, some who are rather right wing in outlook, and some from
other countries like Great Britain and China. The podcast suddenly
began becoming unavailable, not downloading, about 6 weeks ago. When
I finally discovered that the only people with whom to check were
Humanware, they checked and said that there was nothing that could be
done about it. It just isn't available. I'm not even bothering to
post this to the Victor Stream list because the last time Sputnik was
mentioned, there were a whole lot of responses about how everything
on it is Russian propaganda. So I'm just venting my frustration
here. I didn't listen every day, and I only listened to the segments in
which I was interested. But I resent that some entity somewhere is making
decisions about what I may hear.
