  • I have been staring at pine cones past week+

    I wonder if a message. But also, why pine cones?

    The alien pregnancy test was seeing if we were birthing the new Earth yet that’s what I believe, and: it’s not about the queen ant. It’s about all the ants being empowered so ideally you could talk to one aunt and you would understand the whole societyish. Maybe this does happen now?

  • Promising, but doesn’t quite deliver

    I like the premise of this show, and they have good guests, but it doesn’t go into as much depth as I would like, and the huge number of commercials is annoying.

  • It’s Good

    The hosts and the guests are all entertaining. The main issue with the show is they split every interview into multiple episodes to keep it a weekly format. I feel they would be better served by releasing whole interviews even if it means having to skip a week or two.

    I’m a fan of the creators, have tuned in to support and celebrate their creative endeavor! 🎉 I’m not really into conspiracy theories, and they’ve gotten more niche,/in the weeds with them, politics, & while it’s not typically my focus, I think they have found their niche, applaud their creative voices & think they are in their groove now!

  • Bias,let's here both sides

    I used to really enjoy this podcast. At first, it was both entertaining and insightful, offering great discussions and perspectives on a range of topics. Unfortunately, the show has recently taken a turn for the worse, becoming increasingly one-sided with its political commentary. The balanced conversations I once appreciated have been replaced by a clear bias, making it much harder to listen to. Sadly, I've stopped tuning in altogether. I hope the podcast can return to the well-rounded approach... more
