  • Love the show hate the sports-betting ads

    Thank you all for your insightful, independent news. I look forward to it every morning. Your sports-betting ads are certainly pushing me towards an ad-free subscription. The volume of which is too loud and the heavy metal music (and frankly the advertised product) stands in stark contrast to the tenor of the program. Keep on keeping on, and thanks again.

  • Give this a listen! Also: What does “FTA” mean?

    Alright, I’m not a poli-sci major nor someone who can catch up on all the things going on in/related to DC . That being said, I know FTA can mean a few things: Fair Trade Agreement, Fed Travel Advisory…but the contents of each “FTA” episode aren’t necessarily related to those topics. One clue is that all those episode episodes were previously released. But I just can’t come up with other than that the F may stand for Formerly. Help!

    This show is great! It’s relevant, updated, clear, and gives... more

  • Stop Re-releasing!

    I get that it’s the holiday season and you guys need a break from making new content, but as a new listener, it’s ridiculous that I have to scroll through dozens of re-releases to find fresh/relevant content. I’d rather just not have content for a few weeks. Re-releases are lazy and annoying. Wanted to listen but after several minutes, couldn’t find anything that wasn’t an irrelevant rerun.

  • Democrats

    The idea of that people who vote democratic are unhappy with the Democratic Party is laughable. The Democratic Party is not limited to whom may join. These people who are unhappy are welcome to join their local and County democratic organizations. They can pitch in and help.They can offer their ideas. They can knock on doors with us. They can support. They can influence the work of a local Democratic club. Why are they standing on the sideline? Come, help us. We welcome you to our committees.

  • Solid guests

    I’m a recently converted subscriber. I really like the experts they bring on particularly the military generals, for their honest opinions.

    There’s a casualness and honesty that I really appreciate in their shows.

    I don’t always listen to their episodes about headlines, because if you regularly read the news, you would know most of these stories. I prefer the deep dives.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Daily Blast: Trump Ramblings on Epstein Take Revealing Turn as MAGA Fury Boils Over
Q: Nicole, was Trump totally exonerated, as he says there?
He was not. I mean, he's trying to control the storyline here by repeating that over and over again. But first of all, we don't have all of the files.
Siliconsciousness: Is China Gaining an Edge on the US in the AI Race?
Q: Do you agree that the notion the US can dominate the next era of technological development is wrong?
I believe AI will not be owned by any one country, and while the US maintains an edge in frontier research, the gap is not closing.
Siliconsciousness: Is China Gaining an Edge on the US in the AI Race?
Q: Do you think that's a fair assessment, and do you think it's an important issue?
Yes, there's a cultural difference in attitudes towards AI, with more enthusiasm and adaptability in China as opposed to skepticism in the US and Europe.
Siliconsciousness: Is China Gaining an Edge on the US in the AI Race?
Q: Is the US doing what it needs to keep up, or has it shot itself in the foot a couple of times?
The US has damaged its attractiveness for students, especially from China, impacting the talent pool it can draw on.
The Daily Blast: Trump Accidentally Wrecks His Own Case for Tariffs in 3 Crazed Tirades
Q: How does Trump's approach to tariffs reflect on his governance?
Trump's management of tariffs reveals a troubling disregard for established legal frameworks, reducing serious economic policies to personal whims without legitimate justification.
