  • Essential Listening

    Thank you Ann and Andy for decades of service to the community. Every week they keep us informed, keep us angry, and keep us empowered. This show is essential listening, especially now that our community is under attack around the country. Ann and Andy have the institutional knowledge to help us fight these battles, since they’ve been there for us every step of the way. I look forward to this show every week and always feel more connected to the community.

  • Reliable Community Resource

    Love the show, always learn something new. I love Anne and Andy’s banter,, you can tell their old friends, respect each other, and pull no punches. I watch it when I can, but the podcast is a good translation of the TV show.

  • Great but needs small improvements

    They need to have their podcast be as professional as other news podcast and have a description of each episodes, topics and/or guests speakers etc.
