  • Misinformation Generator

    This podcast is a waste of time and lacks truth in most of its topics. They look to mislead and misinform. Not at all what I would recommend to anyone looking for facts.

  • 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.
