  • Shameful softball interview with Lavorgna

    Read the transcript of this interview — OMG — he thinks Trump is now is more knowledgeable! And the other insane statements. And you let the insanity just stand. Not worthy of you, as this is usually a good and thoughtful podcast.

  • Episode 234 Waste of time!!

    I would not waste my time on this episode!! The guest is utterly politically biased, hindering his open-mindedness and critical thinking.

    The guest holds a strong bias toward a political ideology. —The conversation is a complete echo chamber where his political bias leads him to misinterpretation or selective use of facts, contributing to polarization and misunderstanding in discussions.
