  • Do Your Research Please

    “I didn’t watch that documentary.” “I didn’t watch that movie. Maybe I should have.” “Wasn’t there a controversy about that situation?” “I don’t know…” “I didn’t see the ad.” Novel concept but perhaps before talking about a topic the hosts should actually research it. Why have episodes and discuss things they know nothing about? They have one job…

  • I tried, but I’m out

    I rarely review anything, but after listening to the recent Manson podcast, I’m out.

    The mispronunciations of names that have been spoken for 56 years tells me you’ve not listened to a single contemporaneous news report.

    If you can’t even correctly pronounce Spahn Ranch, how can we trust your facts?

    My ears are bleeding…
