I have respected Jane and McKay as journalists for decades. They are respected and I have enjoyed hearing from them both, along with some of the great guests they have interviewed, on valuable and insightful topics. Keep up the great work.

If you feel completely alienated by the current political environment, this podcast is a nice reminder that some semblance of reasonable, give-and-take public discourse can still be found.
Pure and simple, Honest and kind. Thanks for creating content that lifts the spirit
