Thanks for the episodes
I feel like I finally have an informed grasp on world events and despite how grim things are in the world, the guys still find a way to make the pod humorous without it being cringe. Thank you for getting into stories that are nowhere else to be found and providing context that makes sense to average people. Love you guys!
