  • Biased reporting

    I used to listen to this podcast every day and I really want to get the news. However, especially with the new president it’s become very clear that this is not the channel for me. It does not reflect both Republican and democratic views and stay impartial. They find a way to be negative about the administration and I do not appreciate it. It’s sad that even though most people voted for this person, the mainstream media cannot seem to get the hint and have balanced reporting. I will no longer be... more

  • 🙏💡Enlightened by Esther Perel💡🙏

    I just listened to the rebroadcast of “The Real Reasons Couples Fight” and was enlightened by her perspectives on becoming a new mother and staying a good partner.

We are told we can have it all, but then we are trapped in a lonely downward spiral … an echo chamber in which all we can hear are sounds of disappointment and all we want is t... more

  • Great podcast

    I am very happy you did an in-depth interview about Trumps rediculous immigration policy that he wants to put in place. More people need to be aware of how inhumane and cruel it is to separate families. And sending the whole family to another country is not the solution. What needs to be done is creating pathway of citizenship for the undocumented parents . That will solve so many problems. That is the solution. Keep up the good work! Broadcast as much of the inhumane and aweful things that T... more
