  • The Crazy Uncle Podcast

    Was hoping for some intelligent and insightful consideration of current topics, instead got an extremist political propaganda podcast from people who get their “news” from Facebook or Alex Jones. It was absolutely awful. Episode on SCOTUS decisions, and easy one to showcase in-depth coverage, and instead got a misrepresentation of every single case discussed. It’s sad and pathetic and ignorant.
