  • Robbie is an fanboy

    Try listening again because I like the potential of the show, but what has become obvious is that Robbie is a Trump fanboy masquerading as a libertarian to appear intellectually curious. I’m no fan of the liberal voices on the show either, but at least they are who they say they are. Robbie is a model prototype of a certain type of younger male generated by the Trump movement. 1 star. I will check back in again later, I want this show to be good

  • Love it!

    Robbie is great and balanced, I legit look forward to his takes. Niall is the better foil to him, the latest lady doesn’t listen, interrupts too much and makes nonsense arguments.

    Make it Robbie and Niall.

  • BS and Conspiracies

    Sanders is full of it! As for the other one, more conspiracy thinking. Want to change things? Put on your big boy pants and work with honesty and fairness like a proper adult. Unfortunately that leaves out 80% of the population.

  • Robby has no spine

    Robby is yet another one of those countless reactionary centrists. This class’s lack of spine and critical thinking skills (as exemplified by Robby) will be studied in the future as a key reason the USA fell into authoritarianism.

  • Intolerable

    Lindsey is absolutely un-like-able. What an awful voice and personality. She is obnoxious and closed minded. The male host is weak minded and backs down to Lindsey while most anything that pours out of her is grossly inaccurate. He’s a libertarian allows her to walk all over him even though the basis of the pod is a push and pull. It’s completely off balance. Lindsey would serve better as a scripted news anchor. Her views, input, and ideas are off-putting.
