  • Good content but with a nauseating liberal bias

    Cyberwire Pro subscriber. The cases and discussions are informative but when it comes to the opinions expressed they are overwhelmingly left-leaning in political persuasion. The co-host attorney is your typical condescending coastal liberal elite professor type. I truly wish it was politically neutral. I will continue listening but will continue to hit skip when it comes to the nauseating hot takes.

  • Podcast doesn’t play while on VPN.

    Podcast doesn’t play while on VPN. Will you please fix this? Other podcasts play without any issues. I suspect it’s a setting within how you publish your content.
