My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

The podcast and that's what you really missed brings you back to the choir room for a gloriously gleeky rewatch of all six masterfully musical seasons of Glee.

Join cast members Kevin MacKale and Jenna Uschkewitz for never before heard stories from the cast, crew, celebrities and you, the fans from McKinley High to New York City, from the choir room to nationals and from the Super Bowl to a world tour.

Listen to and that's what you really missed on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Wow, it's me again. This is Shari. This is also it could happen here. We've been talking about Syria for the last few episodes.

And we're going to continue. And I'm just going to jump right in because there's a lot. Okay.

So this is a continuation about Syria and the terrible family that controls it. The assets, as I mentioned in the previous episodes.

The Assads have destroyed Syria and the death toll that they are responsible for is literally incalculable by the UN.

But it's said to be nearing half a million people.

Which is a lot of people.

So Sam Dagger is a American Lebanese journalist and author who has lived and worked in the Middle East for more than 16 years.

He was based in Damascus in the early years of the current war before the government kicked him out in 2014.

But he used his access to write about the inside story of the Assad family.

He has a book titled Assad or we burn the country, which I admittedly have not read. It's like 500 pages.

But I did pull a lot of info from the book and interviews that he's done about it mostly in regards to the economic stuff that we'll get into later.
