    Stopped listening due to the constant ‘oh sorry you’re muted’ . Tried again still the same. Host is so repetitive.

  • Worst host, worst guests

    Joel has ADD, jumps from topic to topic, and can’t focus. Two stars earned for his guests’ excellent coverage of the Adelson trials. The rest is complete garbage. Too much Trump nonsense too.
