    Please provide transcripts. Not EVERYONE can receive and listen to podcasts! (There ARE a number of deaf ‘Netusers, too!)

    Mr. Farrell (Mike) was one of the early anti-war war activists.  I’m glad to see he hasn’t burned out.

    Mike Farrell, thank you for speaking up and reflecting my thoughts as well regarding those arrogant bastards who are, so-called, leading our country. Leading our country into decay and shame.

    Bravo Truth Dig !!!

    Great inspiring interview and message - I hope as many people as possible will get to listen to it and continue to wake up and rekindle the human factor and spirit that used to make us proud appreciated and respected worldwide.

    Please promote and get it out to as many sources as possible.

    Better yet, do an expanded version.

    Thanks

    I sent Mr. Farrell a few of my songs last year and received a very thoughtful message in return. As busy as he must be, he’s inspired and a 100% class act! It meant a great deal to me.
    Excellent article!

    I think it is unfortunate that Americans are now waking up. I guess by the time their discontent reaches critical mass he will be out of office, and we’ll have the next president to blame for the horrid state of affairs left behind.

    I really was inspired by his speech at the beginning of the interview.  After hearing this, I feel like the public is starting to wake up.  Thank you Truth Dig for giving my dying heart a kick.
