  • One was all it took

    Checked out the Christmas episode and now I’m hooked. Enjoyed the relatability of guests, the honest banter, great questions and natural flow of the conversations. Looking forward to going through pst episodes to what else Fred has tackled.

  • Interesting podcast

    Decided to take a listen. Thoughtful topics and guests. As a seasoned Conservative voter and long time volunteer, it is great to hear from folks on the “inside”. I enjoy the episodes with non-Conservative guests to show we can still have civil discourse in this country! Bravo Fred!
