Reviews
I like this podcast. Sometimes, it makes me irate (good, challenging, inspiring growth) and sometimes, less often, it makes me irate (bad, frustrating, unqualified opinion shared in interviews paraded as reporting)
Podcast Addict54 months agotaylordnd- This went downhill
I used to enjoy this show… until they started using sources like “The Breach” with thinly veiled antisemitism. I guess that’s what counts as being “progressive” in 2023. 😢

I like Mattea better as a host and have been listening for a couple years but the last episode was so ridiculously one sided. What’s the point of just having 3 people with the exact same opinion just having an agree fest with each other? It’s clearly a divisive subject so they should have been able to find some other nuanced opinion but she just wants people who agree with everything she says. Now that I see that I won’t be able to take this show seriously anymore.

Used to be insightful, now just a group of people trying to prove how woke they are with little basis in reality or differentiating opinions
