  • Inaccuracies

    You all get a lot of things wrong most notably in your Luke Perry episode. His son’s name is Jack and 8 Seconds was from 1994. He was on 90210 at the time. Amazing film. Amazing man. Do better. ETA George Wendt didn’t portray Ditka in his SNL “Da Bears” skits. You guys gets some basic info wrong and show you’re not fans or respectful of those who are when you get stuff wrong. ETA shame on you for covering a white supremacist who did nothing with his life but spread hate. He was a nobody.

  • It’s fine

    Show is good when you just need 20-30 minutes of something decent to listen to.

    They’ll overinflated the importance of who they’re covering all the time though. In the Aaron Hernandez episode they said even though Gronk went on to have the better career; it was Hernandez that was the big star of the two… that’s simply not at all true. They claim there would be no Bad Bunny without Big Pun. Pretty much implying that other acts from Puerto Rico wouldn’t possibly break out without him doing so ... more

    I hope you intend to cove more Charlie Kirk than 4 mins. He did more in 31 yrs than any of us in 100 yrs.

  • So disappointed

    I love this show - i find its messaging really important. But they made a memorial post about a white supremacist. So now I’ll have to look for a different show that does the same important work
