The Fifth Column Community Show

Ben and Garrett are joined by Aaron Maté to discuss all of the Russia, Ukraine, and NATO things!

Ben is joined by Fifdom favorites Jacob Siegel and Eli Lake to discuss the absolute state of past and present American dis/mal information.

After a small(...ish) absence, The Fifth Column Community Shows returns! Ben is joined by writer, commentator, friend, fellow veteran, and Fifdom's resident Ukraine expert Adrian Bonenberger for the third installment of their ongoing discussions about the war in Ukraine. The lads discuss how the ground war is playing out, war crimes committed on Telegram, the F-35, Bernie Sanders, the propaganda war... all sorts!

Adrian's work has been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, Deadspin, Forbes, and all of the other places. Follow him on Twitter @AdrianBonenber1.

Ben is once again joined by Fifdom's resident Ukraine expert, Adrian Bonenberger, to discuss all manner of things Ukraine! Topics include: we were right god dammit (with a few exceptions), Russia's stupidity in Hostomel and Chernobyl, the impact of atrocities being on TikTok, where nuclear weapons would be used (if they are), and more.

Nancy Rommelman joins Brad and Ileana to discuss a range of matters both pressing and perennial: Why is Zelensky running guns and stamps on Twitter? Is Nancy going back to Ukraine (it appears so!) and what did she discover while she was there? What does the future hold for Paloma Media? Why do mothers kill their kids, and what can we learn from wading into messy, uncomfortable details? All sorts!

The Fifth Column is turning 6! Brad and Ileana sat down with none other than Matt Welch to discuss.

Ileana and Brad are joined by everyones favorite Fifth Column guest Ben Dreyfuss! And no one has done any preparation!

And much, much more.

Ben is joined by writer, commentator, friend, fellow veteran, and Fifdom's resident Ukraine expert Adrian Bonenberger. The lads discuss Putin's motivations and intentions in Ukraine, Ukrainian perceptions of Russia, and what war might look like on the ground if/when it arrives... in the next few hours or so.

The inimitable Peter Suderman of Reason, Cocktails with Suderman, and all of the other things, joins Ben and Jaye to discuss podcasting, guns, video games, Dungeons & Dragons, and being a sophisticated boozebag.

Ileana, Brad, ChayaLeah, Jaye and Lesley are in the virtual sukkah grappling with pressing questions related to identity: How much does identity matter? How much should it? Do Jews exist? Is Ileana more Jewish than Lenny Kravitz? And Brad has another podcast baby, but this time he's the one getting knocked up.
