    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.
