  • Why?

    There is a good show here without crazy politics. I have been a long time follower but had to stop. Crazy not open minded. Sad I can no longer recommend this show.

  • Too much time in Germany

    Steve, you are a great interviewer. I always enjoy your show, but was surprised by your recent interview with several comments disparaging American soldiers after WWII and for describing German as having strength you haven’t seen in American women. I was really struck by these statements and was disappointed. more
