  • Left Wing Trash

  • Too many obituaries

    Lately it feels like there are three obituaries a week. I listen to the intelligence to get a quick overview of current events while getting ready in the morning. The obituaries don’t fit that goal. Maybe give them their own separate show that can be punished when relevant?
