  • Fantastic show

    I am honestly shocked that this podcast does not have 5 stars. I listen to podcasts all day and Tara Jean is one of the best hosts. Thoughtful, well written content, fair and accurate. Plus her voice is so easy to listen to. She is a great speaker. Don’t listen to the haters. You won’t regret listening to this podcast if you’re willing to listen with an open mind

  • Just as crazy!

    Just now listening to season 5 but claiming that “abolition of the police” is reasonable is definitely a mindset that is just as crazy as those of the people you cover!

  • Start from season 1

    If you want a podcast that has perfect sound, professional editing and an enjoyable voice just for starters. The content is engaging and factual to the best of my research. Each season just gets better. Enjoyable interview style. Waiting for next seasons
