Love the way you break down news even as an old person and not into celebrity gossip at least I have an idea now of who is doing what to whom. And the world is a crazy place and you are more balanced Jurnos than legacy media.

I love listening to this podcast. I love the blend of serious political chat amongst the pop culture.

However, I look forward to every episode!
