After looking at a few of the one star reviews it’s pretty obvious that the racist trolls are out in force, sadly. This is an incredibly powerful and poignant radio show with amazing guests. John is a thoughtful and insightful host and I am always thrilled when I’m driving and catch it on the radio. Highly recommend!!!
Your work is necessary. Thank you!!!
