  • No joy in Joy Reid

    Just finished listening to the Joy Reid interview. While I’d been looking forward to her new show’s debut, this is no longer the case.

I would also love if you found a way to bring back your Round table panel interview approach on your old show. That would be really cool as well. Either way, brother, as a fellow podcaster or who is also trying to tap i... more
