The Politics Bar
From The BunkerIn communities across the U.S., from small towns to big cities, there used to be a lot more places like the ol’ neighborhood bar. It was a place you could come after work, to talk with your friends & neighbors about the news of the day, to have a few laughs, and maybe a few drinks.
In those days, you could even talk about politics a little bit without causing a bar brawl. These days, the people in... more

- Great, Another Toxic Mansplainer
For the love of God, and all things that are holy, can someone cut off Shawn’s mic. He’s incredibly rude and spends more time talking than listening. There’s a reason why he didn’t have a speaking role in his longest standing job, the guy cannot stand to hear others talk and is obsessed with his own voice. What a schmuck.
I’ll try to listen again in a few months, give Jodi some time to come to her senses and pick a more guest friendly cohost. Someone, anyone, who listens and doesn’t push their... more

Please stop cutting guests and let them and Jody talk ,Shawn
Apple Podcasts4Pace the dogUnited States2 months ago - The Shawn Show
Without Jody, it’s just the Shawn Show. He needs to learn how to let other people have a turn to talk. He acts like he’s the only one with an opinion.
Apple Podcasts3AG🥰United States6 months ago - Less Shawn
Man! Does Shawn ever shut up? This guy loves to hear himself talk. Jodi and the guests have the patience of saints as Shawn continually interrupts and talks over them. Shawn could use a case of laryngitis and the show would instantly improve.
There also appears to be a lack of respect for women, can tell you that much. If a man isn’t willing to hold space for others to talk, and champion women by letting their voices be heard, that sure sounds like another dud we all know. Honestly just as sel... more
Apple Podcasts1ArtemisRunnerUnited States6 months ago - More Jodi please
I started listening to this podcast because of Jodi. I’m sorry to say this but the guy talks too much. He talks over Jodi and the women. They have to fight just to get a sentence in. And then when he talks he just goes on and on and expects everyone to listen to him and give him more time than anyone. Maybe if he could pull back some and give others more room to contribute.
