  • This isn’t a political podcast

    Interesting story and topic but the criticizing of politicians not necessary. Those opinions are highly subjective. Stick to the topic please.

  • Forgive me I won’t follow

    Yikes. This podcast conversation is all over the place. There is no structure. They keep interrupting and jumping into random ideas. It’s terrible.

  • Interesting

    Watched the documentary and then began listening to the podcast. Enjoyed most of the content until they decided to foray into adding politics. It’s not needed no matter which side you sit on.

  • Potential but tough listen

    Really interesting topic and guests that could be just as interesting if they were allowed to talk. Too many ads to fit in for an actual show to take place. Disappointing. I understand ads are necessary but it feels like 60% of the run time is just ads.
