  • I really enjoy this podcast

    This podcast is the highlight of my drive home from work. I listen to news from all perspectives. This show particularly appeals to me as a no political party voter that’s not a fan of either major party. And I like that it’s presented in an entertaining style.

    Jesse talks too fast to my liking but that’s bot going to stop me from listening to him regularly. Love his commentary that is grounded on common sense and logic!
