  • Discourse we desperately need

    You won’t always agree but it’s a civil discussion. Lisa Rayam is a fantastic moderator. Always prepared with great questions.

    This is a joke. Effect vs. affect

    I expected this version of this podcast to be biased and facile. It was worse than I thought. Ugh

  • Great show!

    I’ve been a long-time listener and enjoy the civil (and mostly friendly 😆) discussions that take place between Mr. Robinson and Mr. Johnson. It’s a breath of fresh air to hear two people of opposite parties offer their perspectives without trying to tear each other down. Political Breakfast is a refuge amongst the storm of bitterness and cynicism that plagues today’s politics. I look forward to listening every week and am so excited to hear they’ve added a second episode! Thank you for the show... more
