  • Used to be

    This used to be one of my favorite podcasts. Is it just me, or does Scott now leave you with the ick? Once the ick happened, I can't escape it and listening to Scott now is a complete turn off.

  • Educate yourself Scott

    I’m a longtime listener and I like both hosts, but Scott’s myopic understanding of prejudice needs to be addressed. On the last episode, he spoke about prejudice as if it only applies to Jewish people. I was waiting for Kara to chime in, but throughout history, Black, Brown, LGBTQIA+, Indigenous, impoverished, people with disabilities and many other groups have been maliciously attacked and singled out—often with the goal of eradication by opposing groups. It is disrespectful and offensive to su... more

  • Shame on Kara

    I gave you 4 stars for Scott, but shame on Kara for dismissing the link between college campus protests and antisemitic violence. You are so dangerously wrong.

  • Anti-Zionism IS NOT Anti-Semitism!

    Regarding Galloway’s commentary on the Australian massacre as a manifestation of “illiberalism”. : It’s an assault on nuance to knee-jerkily ALWAYS trot out the cliche of anti-Semitism. When G does acknowledge there’s a distinction & when he deplores the “illiberalism” of the Israeli settlers, it’s 5 second lip-service before he falls back on the cliche. As a spokesman for Israel, G, please acknowledge its responsibility for much of the contemporary rage.
