- Man’s true enemy, time.
6mins 29sec in and they are still trying to sell me sh:t. It’s hard to believe how much Americans suffer enforced consumerism.
Doesn’t matter what you write or produced at this stage Proof / America’s Test Kitchen it is not worth the trade off in time.

Ireland2 months ago - Enjoy Some, Not All
For the most part people listen to podcasts to learn and to relax.
Making a podcast, although educational and about history, all about race is not relaxing and it is NOT accurate. Demonizing Jefferson and the most recent episode October 2, 2025 is strangely out of place. You would have done better to concentrate on the education and the specifics of what was learned by this inspirational historic person.

Really like this season, Tradwives was one of the best and well-balanced episodes and look forward to more!!

I love the honesty of each of the Proof episodes. Especially this one. Raising children in the 80s when it wasn’t cool to be a stay home, it was hard to convince folks you were working, at home. The balanced, shared information on Proof always empowers us to look past the surface. Y’all are definitely living up to your name. Thank you for such interesting, entertaining, and educational shows.

I love his soothing voice and the storytelling. But why do the credits still say Bridget is the host when she’s been replaced by Kevin? More storytelling by Kevin Pang, please!
