  • A Very Good Podcast!

    Hosts are amusing, insightful, and interesting to listen to. How unfortunate that I discovered this show 6 months after they called it quits. I’ll check out their Substacks.

  • Hader yes. Daum no.

    Did these two ever get along? Hader is a thinker, living in the real world, Daum is ideological. They should have had their finale in private. It was painful to listen to Daum ‘s TDS resentment and hurt feelngs. Hader I would follow, Daum no.

  • You kept me informed and sane

    I was a politically homeless, deconstructing Christian when I first started listening. You both gained my trust with your sharp, clear-eyed, intelligent conversations. I have since reconstructed my faith, and have settled into a calmer, more heterodox political mindset . . . thanks mostly to you two, who helped keep me informed and sane. I will miss your show a lot. Loads and load of Blessings to you both❣️
