  • Gillibrand is a Ghoul

    I haven’t listened to the podcast for a while because Kirsten Gillibrand seemed like a regular guest (or maybe you talked about her frequently). She is a horrible person and worse politician. I’m still giving you five stars because, other than that, this show is very candid and funny.
