  • Lots of info in a short time

    Love this show. Jonathan’s takes on the news are informative and very interesting with a small dose of sarcasm. Excellent!

    Sometimes the show seems not long enough - I often would like to hear more of the interview -the guests are always interesting and usually people I’ve never heard of.
