  • Waste of time

    Stacy Cole is embarrassingly uninformed. It’s mind-blowing that she is allowed to voice her opinion regarding topics that she has absolutely no clue about. Easily the worst “news” show I have ever listened to. Do not recommend.

  • Educate or shut up

    Love this podcast! I love the way you guys present. I love your banter - it’s short and sweet. But on occasion, I think you would be better off being quiet (or educating yourselves on how the insanely frustrating legal system works) rather than questioning and fighting over what you “feel like” should be done. Those of us who work within the system directly know how difficult and ridiculous it is. But the changes aren’t made by bantering on a podcast. Changes are made by people getting out there... more
