I appreciate learning backstory & origins of so many current controversial and conspiratorial figures like Candace Owens & Nicki Minaj. Thank you!
Apple Podcasts5BettyBlueyUnited Statesa month ago - Such a great podcast
Properly researched & wonderfully presented in Matt’s warm voice. I’m a 40-something woman from the UK & always been interested in American sociopolitical culture. It’s hard to find trustworthy, intelligent, compassionate current affairs commentary that you can enjoy on a long commute. This podcast is truly a gem in that regard! (Brill guests too!)
