  • Randomly-placed ads are causing PTSD!

    Having annoying ads suddenly interrupting the hosts mid-sentence AND so frequently during the conversations in this pod are turning me off and less likely to recommend. Please-please-PLEASE find a way to limit the ads WITH A NOTIFICATION FROM THE HOSTS of the incoming ad so I can fast-forward past them!! Otherwise I’ll be back to pan this pod simply because of the ads even though I find the discussions very informative!!!

  • More psycho analysis

    I would like less reciting of news events and more analysis as to how Trump’s actions are a reflection of his mental illnesses. That’s the only aspect that would make this worth listening to.

  • Where is the psycology?

    Your description of the pc sounds interesting. But every time I try to listen to one episode I can‘t listen until the end. I tried to scroll until there is some psycology, some closer view to Trumps disease etc.

    Surly there are so many examples of his problems inside his head these last weeks. Why don‘t you point them out? Again and again and again so people see them too.

    You don’t use your weapons.

    What a pity.
