  • Love the show BUT please fix the sound.

    The commercials are about twice as loud as the content, and just about gives me a heart attack every time.

  • The funniest news podcast that exists

    The best leftist news podcast out there. Always hilarious, even with depressing and scary content. A real, honest discussion of American and global politics, that retains a kind and down to earth attitude when facing the most serious and hopeless stories
