In 2012, the controversial whistleblower Julian Assange hosted a talk show called "The Julian Assange Show," which aired on the Russian international television network, RT. The show featured interviews with political dissidents, thinkers, and activists, covering topics including government corruption, media censorship, and war crimes. Assange's guests included high-profile figures such as Noam Chomsky, Slavoj Žižek, and Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa.

The show's format was simple: Assange would prompt his guests with a few questions to start the conversation, and then engage in a back-and-forth dialogue with them. The conversations often took on a lively, intellectual tone, as Assange and his guests delved deep into the topics at hand.

One interesting hallmark of the show was the fact that Assange conducted the interviews remotely, as he was under house arrest in the UK at the time. This unique setup added a layer of intrigue to the show, as Assange's disembodied voice could be heard asking pointed questions from afar.

Critics of the show claimed that it was little more than propaganda for the Russian government, as Assange was seen as being aligned with anti-Western forces. Supporters of Assange, on the other hand, argued that he was simply using RT as a platform to speak out against the same forces that had persecuted him.

Regardless of where one stands on the political spectrum, it's hard to deny that "The Julian Assange Show" was a thought-provoking and engaging piece of television. Assange was a skilled interviewer, and had a knack for getting his guests to open up and share their deepest thoughts and beliefs.

Overall, "The Julian Assange Show" was a fascinating look at some of the most important issues of our time, and a reminder that there are always courageous people out there willing to speak truth to power, no matter the consequences.
