United States21 days ago - A bit fruity + HITO crossover request
I am a relatively new listener as of this year but I have come to love this show enough to go through the backlog of episodes as well, Matt has thoughtful and morally reliable takes on the issues he discusses. Also, I saw the Mallory McMorrow tea and just wanted to make you aware of another podcast I listen to that she also backed out of an interview with last minute, check out “Head In The Office” I think you guys have a lot of overlapping values and concerns!
Apple Podcasts5Megaladon16United Statesa month ago - Thank you for speaking up about Gaza and Abdul El-Sayed
As someone from Michigan, i’m ashamed that my politicians take AIPAC money from israhell and ignore the ongoing Genocide and Crimes against humanity in Gaza. Thank you Matt Bernstein, for bringing the AMAZING Abdul El-Sayed on your show. Now I know there’s still hope for the politics in my state. PLEASE vote Abdul El-Sayed if you’re living in Michigan :) We need to stop the genocide!!!!
Apple Podcasts5Jacob3488421United Statesa month ago - The Clavicular Episode
Wow, it was ostensibly about Clavicular, but it dissected our entire culture, economy, politics. Completely critical and serious but still super funny.
