  • Just real

    Such a calm reasonable and thoughtful podcast. Great conversations and balanced points of view. It’s ok to agree to disagree and have a decent human chat about it. Also helpful and educational in regards to the more destructive ideologies and their effects on politics, culture and personal relationships. Good stuff!

  • Content: Phenomenal; Tech: Could Use Some Work

    I love this podcast, which is why it is so frustrating that I can’t hear it. I listen to most of my podcasts at a medium volume on very high-quality headphones (Trekz AfterShokz). I can barely hear this podcast on the road at maximum volume. The quality of the sound (when I can hear it) is great, but I usually can’t hear it. This only occurs when I listen to this podcast; I have no problems with any others. I would love it if the volume could be augmented. Thanks so much. I am a new listener, bu... more
