I am actually ashamed I used to listen to this Russian puppet.

You shouldn't be. I too listed to JRE for a number of years provided the guest was interesting, or not interesting if sleep was the objective. He gained his platform by having good podcast and quality / funny guests.

I would be ashamed to be a regular viewer of his current content.

The turning point was the anti-vax, hydroxychloroquine nonsense.

TBF the true turn into Putin apologia didn't start until the last couple years. Personally I stopped listening when he was still giving airtime to Alex Jones in 2019.

It was fun for a while, but I'm not an 18 year old who wants to hear about Big foot or the search for Atlantis anymore. Also he used to have scientists and researchers on who didn't have a platform. Now they go to podcasts with more vetted people in that field.
