  • Great resource for locals

    It’s informative and fun! They cover a wide array of topics - keeping me plugged into all aspects of the community. I appreciate their objective, holistic approach to political issues. I like to listen to this pod first before I dive into more “partisan” sources.

  • Good choice of topics…

    I just listened to the episode with Robby. I really appreciate this podcast has highlighted an important, yet overlooked, lack in this city when it comes to disability access.

    Robby was such a good guest for you to choose. I could relate to him so much. Thank you for asking him thoughtful questions.

    If your ideas and guests continue to be this good, consider me a loyal listener.
