In the 1960s, United Mine Workers advocate Jock Yablonski bucked his own union for giving into coal companies on critical issues — including cases of black lung disease and mine safety. And when evidence revealed union president Tony Boyle had been m... more

This is a good show ( with a lot of fast forwarding needed in silly minutes) with thoughtful hosts. I wish they just focused on podcasts. There are tons of other organizations reviewing other mediums. Any chance you can review “Adults in the Room”. I thought it was one of the better podcasts I’ve listened to. Interested in your team’s take.
They can often be petty, and focus on weird details. I just don’t trust any of the hosts’ ability to tell a good story. Some critics are critics because they don’t know how to make narrative podcasts.
I used to listen years back and stopped but can't recall why now. I still don't download them all cos' a lot of times I have no interest in whatever show or podcast they are reviewing. They do make me giggle though and now I have come back to bring resubscribed it's nice to hear they can swear like normal folk too. They didn't use to ! Much more preferable to me, a bit of plain speaking !
I’m done with this podcast. Liberal echo chamber. Last straw was Toby saying Nicolas Maduro was “kidnapped”. He was a despot that stole multiple elections, indicted in the U.S. for drug trafficking and is getting full Due Process rights in the SDNY. Not exactly kidnapping. That’s taking the enemy of my enemy thing a bit too far. Oh and Rebecca critiquing conservatives for citing “isolated” crimes (say her name?) when praising a podcast that consisted entirely of harping on isolated incidents... more
Some people might like or tolerate a pinched, high voice. This is how I talk when I am extremely uncomfortable. And so I feel extremely uncomfortable listening to this podcast. I am
confident this is not your true voice. Lay on the floor on your back. Try to relax and then speak. This will reveal your natural voice. You deserve to experience your natural voice!
