  • Valentine’s Day

    I’ve only been listener for a couple years so this only the second time listening to Isaac and his wife, Phoebe’s (sp) podcast. I like how incredibly real and genuine it is and a nice break from the news cycle.

    Side note: It’s not always the woman who just needs to be heard when venting and not have the partner offer solutions. I’m that person in my relationship with my wife. That might be why I enjoy this episode the past couple years so much. It mirrors a lot of my relationship but with the r... more

  • What I’ve Been Looking For

    I heard about this news team on This American Life last year and it has been a breath of fresh air. As someone who was raised conservative (and has many family members who are conservative), then developed more left-leaning views into adulthood, I appreciate the integration of both left and right views, and the mix of short and long-form episodes on the podcast. The political climate is currently so volatile and it’s been helpful to look at stories from both sides that are largely cast in a ligh... more

  • Brewery Bros

    You can save yourself the time and go sit down at a table adjacent to a bunch of bros at a brewery. The podcast consists mostly of conservatives who think they are centrist or unbias because they don't believe all the news on newsmax and fact check either with their own feelings or their bro. the only female voice you will hear is at the beginning announcing the pod. Also no voices from the impacted marginalized communities are heard in the coverage. staff dissent consists of a staffer, a white... more

  • Perhaps do a little homework.

    “60 Minutes” asked the appropriate source — Homeland Security — for an interview. Noem declined. Then after missing all five screenings of the CECOT episode, Weiss at the last minute specifically required a Stephen Miller interview(?) — which was clearly too late to conduct before airtime. Not sure what Isaac thinks is “reasonable” about any of that, unless he was simply sloppy in gaining the facts of a fairly straightforward story. That jumping to conclusions, particularly given various recent ... more

  • The Invisibility Tangle are Creating by Staying Silent

    Hello Tangle Team

    I’m a regular listener because your show generally does an excellent job of examining issues from multiple angles and modeling thoughtful engagement across differences. That’s precisely why I’m surprised—and frankly disappointed—by the absence of any sustained, in-depth focus on what has been happening and being inflicted upon to the Latino community in the United States. Hence, the two star rating.

    At a time when masked federal agents are conducting raids that involve the vi... more
