  • Still Learning After All These Years

    Amy has just the right touch to be informative and getting political history out with the music from our recent tumultuous past.

    I have learned so much listening to all of the episodes.

    After hearing the episode about Ohio State, feel that our country may be on the edge of another big shift as Neil Young has come out with a fitting new protest song that he premiered at “Farm Aid” this past weekend.

    I have been recommending to my 30 year old daughter and her boyfriend with each episode! Each o... more

  • Another brain washed woke woman talking about, supposed, racial division and people's hatred of America in 1976. ( Ep. 31). She says people of the 70's felt America should not celebrate its indepence due to slavery. This could not be further from the truth. I grew up and worked in a VERY racially diverse town in the 70's. NO ONE was hyper focused on racism and slavery like they are today, especially during the Bicentennial!

    TIP:Focus on the music and less on racism and current day ideology.
