Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 69 ratings
  • Please get a Producer

    Your ads are multiple standard deviations louder than the podcast, iPhones start at high bad for hearing decibel level.

    I have to listen at a higher volume because one of the two co-hosts is soft spoken not only do you not announce, “ we will be right back after a message from our sponsor “,but ads intrude mid-sentence.

    I like the show not that many political left pods that more analysis & opinions less news like.

    Please fix for 5

  • How do I get to your premium content!?

    I’ve been a subscriber to TNP for years and all of a sudden I do not have access to your premium content anymore.

    I’ve tried to look for links, but I can’t find any. And I can’t recall how I subscribe in the first place.
