Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 58 ratings
  • One day, Egberto will be as great a radio broadcast technician as he is a conversationalist of all things on the political spectrum. Brian is his best caller currently, even when I don't agree with his points he attempts to make. I never miss a full episode.

  • Good! But, way too many adds

    Love Egberto’s message and what he stands for! However, 8 adds within 8 minutes is a bit annoying. Also the placement of adds within the middle of someone’s talking is distracting and makes me lose focus on what’s being discussed.

  • Authentic discourse on political and social issues

    Egberto honestly unpacks the agendas/debates that affect the citizenry of the United States. No matter the political affiliation. Love the symmetrical approach.

  • Sincere Civic Engagement

    Egberto truly cares about the issues and fostering a dialogue with various perspectives. He understands the importance of engaging in conversation with those who disagree and he is always searching for new ways to both find common ground and critique conservative rhetoric and assumptions. Trying to battle the other side and also foster cooperation with them is exhausting work, but Egberto puts in the labor day after day and should be commended for doing so.

AOC Exposes Billionaire Myths as Les Leopold Reveals Why Workers Abandoned Democrats
Q: First of all, why did you write this book?
Leopold explains he was motivated by discovering that a significant portion of workers want a strong, progressive economic platform and that existing parties have failed to deliver on job security and a livable livelihood, leading him to advocate for a new or reformulated workers' party.
