- I hate podcasts but not this one!
I avoid a lot of podcasts because a lot of uneducated people have a lot to say and I don’t care to listen to them if they don’t fact check or cite their sources.
Not the grifty squad; grifty helps me critically think about things in ways i’d have to pay for a graduate school degree or education to learn. I appreciate how diverse the team and guests are, they really walk the talk in their work. thank you for all you do Grifty squad!!

Azi does an excellent job of just that… and of course it may offend those who just want to blindly follow the masses rather than critically thinking, doing their own research to fully comprehend and understand a matter. A must... more
