- Inconsistent
I’m up and down on this podcast day to day. At its best it’s really informative and covers a lot. But it sometimes takes strange angles on stories that are kind of inexcusable. Today it was wildly dismissive of the No Kings rallies. I was also really disappointed in the Jimmy Kimmel coverage.
