  • Love this show. They cover all sorts of news topics which are always well researched and delivered in a way that anyone Can understand. They are more left leaning, but that doesn't negate their coverage and points. Oh, Johnathon is also here... if you were wondering. Cody and Katy are great as well. Such a fantastic triad!

  • I think it’s time I move on.

    Literally have listened to this for years, but after the latest episode and the repeating of the false narrative regarding the recent shooting in SLC I can’t do it anymore. Maybe I’ve moved too far to the left, I do have this podcast to thank for starting me down that path, so thanks guys.

    Came to check in after a while and they have 100% lost the plot. Disgusting pro regime change guest gets to talk for an hour with absolutely no pushback. Shameful.
