  • Favorite podcast…but

    I’ve listened for over five years. These guys are my favorite. I highly recommend you sign up for a Patreon subscription and listen to those shows. The free daily show, though, has become almost unbearable to listen to, as it’s nothing but nonstop ad after ad. It’s them doing an ad read or Apple inserting some of its ads. It’s really started to ruin the experience.

    The boys have got to eat, but I can see how this is a repellant to any new listener who might otherwise join the hive.

    I used to be a political extremist but the balance and nuance I was able to add to my life brought me back to politically annoying.
