  • Why

    First time listening to the show. Came upon it by googling the question do a lot of people now hate bill Maher. The answer was a resounding yes and it led me to this pod. Maher has managed to get hate from both the right and the left while the center no longer even cares what he says. Love the premise of the show, but having a guest on who has barely heard of bill maher and doing a whole show with her is really a stupid idea. I know you tried to save it by saying oh it’s so great to get a take f... more
