United States9 months ago - Please go back to the old format and content. STOP interviewing people.
Listened LRIS for YEARS! Educational, informative, amazing content. Will’s replacement, Rick is not it. Get back to the format Will had for years.

With so much going on right now with attacks on Unions and bargaining rights, TALK about whats going on.
