    I’ve been listening to this show for a long time. Just want to say how much I appreciate the consistent high quality. Most recently, I was blown away by the interview with the director of the Lenny Reef style documentary. Good stuff!.

  • What happened to Marr?

    The Chris Hedges interview was shameful. Really sad to see Marr descend into such a yuk person. He’s 80 years old - hopefully LNL will be better when he’s gone
