I loved getting news from a Catholic perspective, but with their new schedule the news is old by the time they do an episode. I still appreciate Josh and Erica’s researched analysis, but Tom’s inexperienced pov and arguing is getting old. He usually eventually comes around on a lot but it’s too late.
So tired of the sanctimonious dialogue. .. tired of having to FF over you
I love listening 3x a week and would happily listen daily
Clearly they don’t know how businesses work. Finally the country is being run like a business. Accountability and results oriented. To accomplish means negotiating strategic wins and losses. I give four stars because the two show that maybe they can learn. Course Tom just needs more life experience.
I look forward to catching up on hot topics with Tom, Erica and Josh! Witty, intelligent, thoughtful and detailed, you will be glad you spent the time hearing their take on current events. Erica, “The Deep” is a pleasure to listen to and your book list is great! I love the prayer at the end and always feel edified in supporting this fantastic organization, Catholic Vote!
