  • Kudos Jim C

    Just wanted to say good job to Jim for staying cool when Maureen went off about the recent cuts. I agree with him, that yes some cuts likely needed to be made but some were done so blindly that it’s going to hurt a lot of people. Maureen seemed far too emotional about it, no doubt because of her family history with law enforcement, but to be so blindly agreeable to cuts without understanding the repercussions is gross.

    Too bad Maureen doesn’t care about the families of the innocent people ICE is targeting like she cares about ICE’s families. This is a job they are doing. They have a choice in whether they do it and how they do it. Following illegal tactics and procedures makes them no better than the criminals they CLAIM to be targeting.

    I like this podcast but supporting human rights abuses is a really bad take

    I always liked Maureen but on a recent episode she was almost gleeful about the government cuts. By the grace of god go I. I hope she never has to rely on programs that are cut or medical programs and research that could save a life. As someone affected by those cuts, I can’t listen to someone who delights in the suffering of others. I’m out.

  • Amazing, eye opening

    Wow, hats off to Jim C to keep his cool and ability to argue in logical and pragmatic manner when the new host Maureen was blindly defending current administration’s ICE orders and tactics in episode 447. Maureen! It’s not okay to bring politics into this podcast unless you can calmly and logically state pros and cons and rationally explain/ present your views without unequivocally talking a side.

    This podcast along with Real Crime Profile are my favorite, especially because of Jim C’s ability ... more
