  • What a silly move

    Why in the world would you get into politics you insulted more than half of the country on your most recent show. That’s just a stupid move for someone who is trying to be an entertainer…. Take care as I won’t be listening.

  • No longer the “loser” at family gatherings after sharing facts you learn from this podcast!

    This is a great show that you can’t help but learn something every week! Host, Michael Kent, is knowledgeable and shares it all with us, the audience, in a fun manner as he gives us the facts about the topics. Then, if that isn’t enough, he calls up one of his friends, and sees how much they know by asking them questions about the topic. Through it all you not only learn, but often Michael makes us laugh as we learn! I never miss an episode!
