  • Shoutout to one of my favorite podcast teams :)

    I have been listening to this show from literally the very beginning with Robert’s scenarios of what civil war in the US could look like - insane looking back at from where we are now.

    Big shoutout to the entire team: you guys and ladies are a big part of what still provides some sanity when the inmates run the asylum. All of you are great; you all bring strengths and values to this project, and I appreciate each one of you a ton - especially for Mia: ignore the haters; you rock. Take care!

  • Truth Social

    i think even the ironic use of calling trumps post “truths” is maybe leaning into his own very effective marketing too much. please call his posts lies or posts cuz correcting people saying these are truths works with his marketing too well

  • I dislike the show 5*!

    So I really wanted to like this show because the concept of it is so interesting to me. But I started listening and I realized that the host are varied left leaning and I was about to unsubscribe when I said to myself why would I want to listen to people who have the same ideas as me all the time? Next, I started popping around and listening to other random episodes and decided that I want to stay subscribed Because it is a different viewpoint. Strange, I know, five stars.

  • I have E.D. and I listen to the pod

    Mia is the weakest link. Can’t do it with the big performative sighs, the derailing of her segment over a moderately funny joke after Mia starts uncontrollably laughing, and manically using f ing when it’s not even needed. The voice ranging from ASMR to being a dead ringer for Goofy is also frustrating. And count the number of “yeahs” while somebody else is talking or that add nothing in general.
