  • This has become my favorite podcast

    If you are looking for intelligent, insightful, and bold commentary on current events, this will become your favorite podcast too! I can’t remember when I started listening but it was probably fall of 2023 or so. I’ve listened to just about every episode since then and really love the discussions. I learn a ton and while I don’t always agree with all the positions taken, I love the free-thinking spirit. We need more news coverage like this!

  • Shrill

    Great podcast, but Frawley grates with her aggrieved and incredulous tone (even when I agree with her). Hope she cools off a bit.

  • A literal snooze fest. I put this on when I'm ready to sleep and their monotonous voices have me out in five minutes.

  • Disappointed

    I like the counterpoints and level headed discourse of the show but you guys kicked off Nina for political safety. I just can’t get behind that.

  • Great, but…

    Geoff has got to learn to speak in a smoother way. Great writer, but hard to listen to when talking. Everything else is great
