  • Relatable and Informative

    Glad I was pointed to this podcast after Symone and Eugene were on Pod Save America.

They question bit their not ashamed to accept nuances and alternatives. That feels rare in a time where people seem more focused on being perceived as right than actually listening and ... more

  • Worth Your Time to Listen

    I’m a big fan of Stephen Colbert, just putting that out there. This podcast hits the same vibe but in a different way. I love Symone Sanders Townsend and this show provides critical information about current events in a witty way. I really like the banter back and forth between Eugene and Symone and the guests they gave add major value to the conversation. I look forward to listening the next podcast and if you haven’t given it a try, you are doing yourself a disservice. Clock that.
