- Hearing Loss episode
I’m a person with hearing loss in one ear due to a surgery. I appreciate this episode. You can’t see hearing loss like other handicaps so I live in frustration and exhaustion daily just to hear the world around me. Thank you for investigating this issue. Best wishes.

Probably not fair but I just listened to the episode on politics and democracy. The guest was a former Washington post reporter and manager and now a professor at Georgetown, Kate Winsomething.

No challenge from the hosts. Nothing but support for and prompting of this gues... more
Apple Podcasts1Samson38$United Statesa month ago - Socialist drivel
The exuding negativity towards conservative thought is palpable. The guests are far left and woke. I just wish for a centrist podcast. I guess this ain't it. But if you're a lefty and desire a confirmation bias then listen away. This is a prime example why NPR lost federal funding. Entitlement and governmental support. No mention of merit and personal responsibility. Disparages "the rich" but don't forget the top 50% pays all of the federal taxes.
Apple Podcasts1drjekyllmrleeUnited Statesa month ago Been a subscriber for years but due to the misinformation and fear mongering about AI, I'm out. Interesting how y'all have guests who you pose as authorities on the subject, but don't seem to be aware of what's actually happening. Ed Zitron would be a better guest. Unsubscribed.
