  • Thoughtful perspective

    So much of what Q and Rames share may seem like common sense human reaction, but the show is filled with incisive and thoughtful perspective that is too often missing from today’s media.

  • BIASED NEWS

    Why listen to a “news” group who has an agenda going into EVERY story they intend on reporting? It’s predictable, pathetic, and low minded to try and change stories to target the vulnerabilities of certain audiences.
