  • Disheartening

    Thought I found a good informational podcast. I enjoy different opinions, listening to others is how we learn and grow. Liked they have people on for information. Combining different ideas and working together is what makes something great. These hosts just have such a negative view about anyone who thinks different than them. Found some of their “jokes” or sarcastic comments very offensive. Shame great idea could have been a good podcast for all.

  • Fort Worth hate

    They’ve had a pretty one-dimensional MSNBC style takes since the founding. I’ve listened since because at least they’re talking Fort Worth.

    EJ’s seething rage for my family and all others who call this great city home has made this unlistenable.
