  • Really really broad definition of what a witch is

    The story on witchcraft was kind of dopey. A little definition of what a witch is would’ve helped. How could you talk of a serious issue of 100,000 children in Africa being accused of being witches and also in the same podcast talk about some gen z youtuber looking for views and claiming to be a witch. Two completely different topics. I dont know how you could combine these two.

  • Love the new host and a longtime fave.

    Been listening to this podcast for 10+ years. It's great, and love the mix of news, book reviews, movies news.

  • Circling the drain

    Sad to see the once rational and articulate Jack Beatty come down with Trump Derangement Syndrome. This was once a great radio show before the Tom Ashbrook mutiny. Jack was the only moderate survivor. It’s a sad way to finish a career. Maybe Jack should get out of Boston more.
