- Even the headlines are biased
I heard a couple of good interviews, but now checking in six months later, the one-sided headlines with their ALL CAPS emotions make it clear it’s not worth my time. And I am a center, educated independent.

United States3 months ago - Great podcast!
It starts with understanding why California is in such a pickle to begin fixing the core problems of affordability, public saftely, over regulation, etc. State of Gold breaks downs these issues and puts leaders in the limelight, championing sensible reform. Also, Jon for governor!
Apple Podcasts5Natalie19936United States6 months ago - Refreshing
This show is a refreshing change to the rhetoric we constantly hear in California. Jon is thoughtful and comprehensive in his approach. I love how he probes into the issues promoting an environment of accountability. Keep it coming!

Apple Podcasts2gsal311United States6 months ago - Why does Apple block this from being played?
I love this and must go elsewhere to listen. Apple is an anti California people company. Last iPhone I will ever own or Apple product.
