  • Enjoy the updates

    Enjoy the updates think it’s strange to have to hear an ad for United Health Group being that they are one of the many terrible insurance companies ripping off the American people so would prefer you got your ad & elsewhere but that’s really up to you

  • Morning Announcements for the left

    It’s been a while since I have had such a quick react to a podcast but this one was not for me. Sami doesn’t hide the fact that she’s totally speaking for the liberal left. I expected it to be geared to the middle from someone as intelligent as her, and as a business woman. My mistake.

  • My “Must” of the Day

    I absolutely love this podcast and it is the only news format that cannot be missed on a daily basis. The wit makes it all so much easier to endure. However, my only beef, or dislike, is that it’s too damn short! C’mon Sami, can’t you just give us a few more minutes. I so look forward to it every day, she says everything I’d like to say and to start the day off knowing that someone out there gets it is a wonderful feeling.
