  • I only want to hear the news. Ben constantly adding his weird impressions and constantly repeating the same "joke" is so annoying. Can you just talk normal and report the facts?

  • Russia Russia’s Trump conspiracy.

    Ben, Donald been conspiring with Putin for decades, money and business combined. Is it inconceivable that this military decade is worthy of a counterintelligence investigation?

    I love the partnerships you have with Wolfers, Parness, Phang, and Macfarland, Ellison, and others (I’m sorry if I misspelled names). Great content from all!

  • All hell doesn’t break loose every day

    I have been a devoted listener for years, but I am unfollowing you. Your updates are unnecessarily hyperbolic and repetitive. I appreciate the work you have done, but the titles of your episodes, the panic-stricken, circular reporting turns me off and onto calmer, more straightforward independent reporting.

  • Justin Wolfers & Ben’s weird voices need to go

    I don’t like Justin Wolfer’s. He goes out of his way to sane wash Trump’s economic propaganda. He seems to want to ‘cover up’ the damage Trump is doing to our economy. I don’t understand why

    Ben’s weird voices (mimicking) have got to go. He has valuable information but I have trouble listening to his ridiculous dramatizations
