  • My absolute favorite pod

    Seriously the most interesting and informative podcast out there. Kimberly and Kai are a joy to listen to as they discuss the days news. I enjoy the diversity of hosts and their thoughts. Great podcast, can’t recommend enough! Market place as a whole is great but this show is the best of.

  • Still interesting and fun

    Kai and Kimberly are smart and funny. The podcast started during the pandemic, when it was important to feel connected, and it succeeded exceptionally. 4 years later, I’m still listening and learning.

  • Used to enjoy but Kai is such a downer

    I used to like this podcast but Kai has gotten to be such a downer and won’t stop interrupting discussions to point out dysfunctional congress. Okay, we get it you hate anything new or unfamiliar to you, and congress isn’t working right now.

  • Kai is condescending to Kimberly.

    I like what this show is trying to do, but it really feels like Kai doesn’t want to be there lately.

  • I gave it a try for a couple episodes. It's hit or miss, but I feel dumber for having listened.
