  • Unsubscribed

    Dean has jumped the shark. He’s just become a political hack. That said there’s definitely some great conversations in the feed. Especially 2015-2019 era. But he’s uninformed lame political talking point guy now. It’s just bizarre he thinks shilling for the establishment is good as long ad a dem politician is dropping the bombs.

  • Stop the 1 minute previews

    Dean, love the podcast generally, but please stop with the 1 to 2 minute “Patreon” previews. If u wanna preview the stuff behind pay wall just put a full episode up once every couple months. The 1 minute uploads come off insulting and make us not wanna pay for extra content.
