  • Solid fact checking

    Thank you for shining a light on all the lies and propaganda that is pushed out by this regime and amplified by legacy media.

    I love the clear explanations of what is happening and the real world ramifications.

    I feeling better after listening - it’s validating and reassuring that I’m not going crazy. Opposite of doom scrolling. Thank you!

  • Too much filler

    The hard news interviews on this show are good, but there are way too many softball interviews with people who recently published memoirs. Please deliver more actual news and less book promotions and and artsy puff pieces about tiny arts nonprofits or exhibits that hardly anyone will ever see because we don't live in that one city where it is.
