International Flavor: Where the Truth Just Tastes Better International Flavor is a live, no-nonsense morning broadcast that takes you well outside the comfortable lies of Western mainstream media. Airing Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. (Central) on damradio.com/live, the show is then archived as a podcast at internationalflavor.com for listeners who want to rewind, re-listen, or share what they probably won’t hear anywhere else. This is an international affairs and civil liberties show with teeth. We dig into wars, sanctions, regime-change games, color revolutions, BRICS, de-dollarization, energy politics, and trade disputes — always asking who actually benefits and who gets crushed. You’ll hear Russia’s side of the story in clear English, along with perspectives from China, the Global South, and dissident Western voices that polite TV panels pretend don’t exist. If you’re looking for a “Putin is evil, Washington means well” bedtime story, this is not your program. At home, International Flavor turns the same harsh light on the American legal and political system: state bar politics, judicial “selection” commissions, agency overreach, back-room regulatory enforcement, Sunshine Law stonewalling, and the quiet ways people’s rights, businesses, and reputations get destroyed while everyone is told it’s “just procedure.” From Missouri’s bar and ATC battles to federal surveillance and speech restrictions, the show pulls case files, statutes, and real stories together and says out loud what most lawyers only say off the record. It isn’t all geopolitics and courtroom trench warfare. International Flavor also looks at real estate, money, and everyday survival — from Florida and Missouri markets to international property and migration — and how politics, sanctions, and war ripple straight into your mortgage, your grocery bill, and your retirement. On other days, the program dives into language, film, music, and culture, often unpacking Russian-language interviews, songs, and movies, explaining the subtext Western coverage never bothers to translate. Hosted in a direct, sometimes sharp tone, International Flavor doesn’t pretend to be “neutral.” It tests Western narratives against inconvenient facts, brings in sources that are usually filtered or banned, and lets listeners decide for themselves. No scripted talking points, no fake balance — just a consistent rule: if a story affects power, war, freedom, or money, we follow it until the mask slips. If you’re tired of being talked down to, and you’re ready to hear the things you’re not supposed to hear — from Moscow to Miami, from courtrooms to conflict zones — International Flavor: Where the Truth Just Tastes Better is your morning habit.
This morning’s “wing-it-from-scratch” show starts with a holiday gut-check: gratitude, traditions, and making Christmas about experiences—Garden Glow, Nutcracker nights, and your own rituals.
2025-12-23 - International Flav…
Then it turns hard-nosed: reports of a massive Russia-wide strike pattern on Ukraine’s energy grid (hundreds of drones), blackouts, and why Odessa/critical br...
For four and a half hours, the Russian president answered live, unscripted questions from citizens, journalists, soldiers, and families — covering war, negotiations, the economy, sanctions, social policy, science, culture, and the future. Whether one agrees or disagrees, such extended public accountability has become rare in modern politics.
The first half of International Flavor walks listeners carefully through that exchange, usi...
Europe tries to freeze Russian money, bankroll Ukraine, and call it “law,” while the battlefield reality collapses in real time. Today’s International Flavor dissects EU financial desperation, Ukraine’s shrinking manpower, Macron’s sudden urge for diplomacy, and the global farce of frozen assets. We pivot stateside to Missouri’s $24-billion COVID judgment against China, the political theater behind it, and the quiet truth about who...
Today Samuel Trapp tears into the West’s two-rulebook routine: Eurovision boots Russia overnight, but debates Israel. From sports bans and even “Russian cats” to the EU’s RT/Sputnik blackout, the censorship theater gets a spotlight. Then we pivot to Trump’s “Southern Spear” strikes, the Venezuela oil blockade, and why blowing up boats without due process is barbarism, not justice. Plus: Rostov terror plots, drone attacks, Bulgaria’...
Today on International Flavor, Samuel Trapp dissects Europe’s accelerating spiral of self-inflicted damage — from Volkswagen shutting down a flagship German plant to Brussels’ unelected elites cheerleading economic pain and war preparation. This episode cuts through fearmongering, faux morality, and fantasy economics to expose how energy policy, EV mandates, militarized rhetoric, and blind faith in American protection are hollowing...
Today on International Flavor: Where the Truth Just Tastes Better, Samuel Trapp riffs on Ukraine’s collapsing trust—polls showing confidence in Washington and NATO sliding while Zelensky still polls high. He breaks down Berlin talks, Trump’s push for a year-end settlement, and why Russia rejects a “simple ceasefire.” Then: Lavrov’s reminder of NATO’s broken reunification promises, the EU’s Euroclear asset grab and Russia’s $230B la...
This episode of International Flavor cuts through global theater to examine what happens when performance replaces governance. From staged war footage and political selfies to legal improvisation and weaponized finance, credibility is collapsing faster than power. Drawing on weekend commentary from Russia, Ukraine, Europe, and beyond — including Solovyov and Arestovich — the show argues that exhaustion, not ideology, now drives out...
From freezing mornings in Missouri to nine-meter waves in Kamchatka, Samuel Trapp connects global weather extremes to war, winter, and geopolitics. Today’s episode explores natural disasters as truth-accelerators, the fall of Seversk, winter attrition in Ukraine, Lavrov’s rejection of ceasefire “pauses,” the collapse of trust after Minsk, Trump’s World War III warnings, frozen Russian assets, Venezuela, AI deregulation, and why dip...
Today’s broadcast dives straight into the global power shift the West pretends not to see. Samuel Trapp opens with a sharp reflection on American arrogance abroad, then dismantles the globalist mindset still steering U.S. foreign policy. He delivers a deep, razor-sharp breakdown of India’s Jaishankar—why he’s the adult in the room and why Western elites fear him. Then comes Steven Seagal’s explosive SMO documentary and why Hollywoo...
This morning on International Flavor, Samuel Trapp cut through the fog to unpack a shifting world that Washington still pretends isn’t changing. From Czech politics flipping toward Euro-skeptic realism, to Zelensky’s increasingly desperate demands for “sky security” before elections, to Lavrov’s blunt assessment that Western dominance has run its course, today’s show tracked the fractures appearing across Europe and NATO. Samuel al...
This explosive episode exposes Ukraine’s collapsing war effort through Arestovich’s unfiltered warnings: a manpower crisis, elite hypocrisy, and Zelensky’s private search for personal guarantees. Samuel Trapp breaks down the ICJ’s rulings that undermine Kyiv’s narrative, Europe’s delusional 2030 war plans, the Chernobyl containment failure, and Western leaders’ cratering approval ratings. We examine Russia’s steady territorial gain...
Doha 2025 shattered the old Western script. Trump’s new foreign-policy doctrine and Donald Trump Jr.’s Doha message signaled a decisive shift away from endless wars and manufactured narratives. Tucker Carlson exposed years of U.S. and Israeli hypocrisy, while Hillary Clinton clung to a fading worldview. Russia’s Solovyov dissected it all with brutal clarity. And in India, Vladimir Putin outlined a confident, multipolar future roote...
Samuel Trapp eases into a “lazy” Friday that turns into a global tour: an F-16 crash over California, Putin’s high-stakes India visit, RT India’s launch, Sberbank and MIR wiring Eurasia, and Russia’s S-400s outclassing Western air defenses. He digs into Ukrainian refugee fatigue from Tel Aviv to Warsaw, EU corruption scandals circling Brussels elites, and a forgotten South African anti-apartheid writer honored in Moscow, with trave...
Samuel Trapp opens International Flavor with a brutal takedown of COVID busybodies, Missouri’s ‘nonpartisan’ judicial machine, and America’s addiction to government power. He dives into Trump’s back-channel peace maneuvers with Putin, the Kushner versus Hunter question, Ukrainian units trapped around Pokrovsk and Mirnograd, and the West’s creeping theft of Russian oil assets and frozen reserves. From Turkish waters to Brussels boar...
This morning’s International Flavor cuts straight through the Western noise and gets to the real story: what Putin actually said, why Pokrovsk’s fall signals a Ukrainian front in freefall, and how Europe keeps stumbling into a war it can’t win. Samuel breaks down the tanker attacks near Turkey, the growing shadow-fleet conflict, and the political knife fight inside Kyiv as Zelensky’s days appear numbered. From diplomacy to deceptio...
International Flavor launches its first morning show with a deep dive into how we got to today’s Ukraine stalemate. Samuel walks through Russia’s 2021 security ultimatum, NATO’s eastward creep, and Steve Witkoff’s sudden role as Trump’s deal-maker in Moscow. Along the way he dissects Arestovich’s admission that Ukraine has already lost, Zelensky’s collapsing circle, NATO chatter about “pre-emptive” strikes, Black Sea tanker attacks...
Tonight’s International Flavor tears into the leaked Trump “peace plan,” the Geneva counter-proposal, and what Lavrov actually said about who’s blocking real negotiations. We walk the front lines from Pokrovsk to Zaporizhia, where Ukraine’s “meat lines” and mass surrenders collide with Western headlines still pretending Kyiv can win. Along the way we dissect Budanov’s hints about prisoner swaps, Europe’s Minsk-era lies, Washington’...
Tonight on International Flavor, Samuel Trapp walks through the real Geneva timeline behind Trump’s Ukraine “peace” plan, Zelensky’s shrinking options, and Arestovich’s brutal verdict that this is just Istanbul-2022 in disguise. We dig into Ukrainian graft, missing Western weapons, and Tucker Carlson’s claims about Yermak and the Murdoch media machine. Then we pivot home to the Comey and Letitia James indictments getting nuked by a...
Broadcasting from a Memphis hotel parking lot on the road to Florida, Samuel unpacks Trump’s 28-point “peace” ultimatum to Zelensky, Europe’s panic over frozen Russian assets, and the staggering billions skimmed off Ukraine aid. He walks through Russia’s nuclear-test messaging and visa “irritants,” the madness of a U.S. plot to seize a Haitian island, and Candace Owens’ claim that Macron wants her killed. A live caller rants about ...
Tonight we turn Trump’s shiny new 28-point “peace plan” into a sarcastic multiple-choice test. Does Zelensky sign away Crimea, Donbass and half the army, or play the heroic loser and keep bleeding for Brussels? We walk through all 28 points, the golden-toilet corruption circus in Kiev, the likely fall of Pokrovsk, and how Washington plans to blame Ukraine when this deal dies. Spoiler: Russia gets almost everything it asked for in 2...
