  • Meh

    Would be so much better without Casey who talks too much, cuts off people, and is very annoying making it sound childish.

  • Bias + immaturity = Exhausting

    There are so many interesting topics and perspectives on this podcast, yet the immaturity and political bias (which is extreme) is exhausting. Have listened to many episodes over the past few months and want to like it, but geez I just can’t do it any longer.
