  • Interesting, engaging, and entertaining

    They provide interesting takes and conversation on a wide variety of topics that affect us all in modern western society. This is a podcast I find myself listening to on a regular basis for their research, banter, and unique perspectives. If you are new to this podcast I would highly recommend listening to the episode on the Quakers from April 17th 2026.

  • Sometimes

    I appreciate the thoughts the Collins give. However, they don’t seem to understand the Jewish community at all or at large. Why would Malcolm assume Mossad corrupted Owens Or Carlson…what benefit would that have to the Zionist community at large? I personally am done with people talking about the Jewish community who clearly don’t know anything about Jewish history.

  • More Argument Than Insight

    In the episode I listened to, the husband frequently talks over his wife and interrupts her points, making it difficult to follow or fully hear her perspective. He also doesn’t come across as particularly well-informed on the topic he’s discussing, which further undermines the conversation. Instead of feeling like an informative or balanced discussion, it came across more like a spousal disagreement.

  • Interesting podcast, but the hosts could really improve their delivery

    I find this podcast interesting, however, the hosts are always on 100 in intensity and urgent delivery. This is a problem with many podcasts: unlike earlier generations of public speakers, there is no awareness of how off-putting this style of speaking is for a listener. Slow down, modulate your voices, don't interrupt your co-host with unrelated statements that halts the momentum of the conversation, etc.
