  • Great Listen… Never Miss

    Love this podcast, try to never miss one. 1 idea that would be interesting …. Having a specific counter discussion with 2 guests. Example Peter L and someone who thinks the nation’s debt is a problem. I think it would be great discussion and Mr Walker could intelligently steer the conversation. Thank you for work you do in putting this together.

  • Top Notch Program - we are blessed to have it!!

    It is inspiring to listen to and receive an unbiased dialogue between Willy and the amazing guests he has on the WD podcasts. What a gift and reprieve from the majority of news and educational programs that are spewing propaganda and narratives driven by their or their bosses/owners agenda.
