  • Intriguing!

    Interesting subjects with very informed hosts with character. They are secure enough to be humble and humorous while covering complex situations. more

  • Great show with detailed info

    I know this is silly but I wish the intro sound was just a bit quieter or different bc it wakes my hubs up every episode late at night when I listen. I love getting info that’s hard for civilians to get that we should have access to as it is OUR COUNTRY but I appreciate wyd! Keep fighting the good fight!!!!

Oh, and the “reporter” on the show should be doing hypnosis programs instead of a podcast,... more
