Finally some common sense. Well done that man

Andrew Gold has built one of the most honest interview podcasts around. Sharp questions, real preparation, genuine humour, and no obvious agenda except saying what a lot of people already think. Brave, consistent and enjoyable - Thanks Andrew! You provide a much needed repository to help us all make sense of the madness ;-)
I just discovered this podcast and enjoy the host’s calm, intelligent demeanor. He really lets the guests express their thoughts and I find this interesting as I find some of his guests views difficult to get onboard with but I would like to understand how they got there.
Yep like one of the other listeners I am now unfollowing based on Andrew’s comment about losing a job based on the fact he’s a white man. Deep unrelenting sigh. Get a grip. If there was always equality this would never be an issue. Also dislike views on trans. I’m off
