  • Long time listener first time caller

    Great podcast, have been a listener since the beginning, keep breaking my phone and having to resubscribe. However I have come here today to praise the reportage, the variety of topics and also stand on my horrible little step stool and say I find it wildly annoying that one of the hosts keeps calling Zohran Mamdani “Mamdami” and if I don’t write it down somewhere I’ll explode. Great pod keep it up.

  • A kids view of the world

    Typically, I give a podcast at least 3 tries before giving up. This time episode 209 was enough.

    Simplistic one sided thinking, largely fact free and it was hard to get past the host slurring his words. Whether you lean strongly left or right, there are hundreds of podcasts like this that will only tell you want to hear. Most of them have sober hosts though.

  • The pain of laughter

    I enjoy the subject matter, the topics, the banter—so, thank you for that. However, the laughter of Mia can be painful to my sensitive ears. It actually hurts. Don’t stop laughing or having a good time, but consider leaning away from the mic when doing so? I don’t know. I don’t work in broadcasting.
