- An important podcast
Thoughtful conversations that truly delve into the increasingly polarizing time we find ourselves in. I find reviews that criticize his lack of pointed critique to miss the point of this pod… I’ll gladly listen in to more episodes like these that question and try to understand the issues we find ourselves facing. Hopefully, we’ll see more of this type of content being created in the years ahead.

Loved listening to Brown - no nonsense, direct & clear.
Apple Podcasts5k!k!m@suUnited States12 days ago - NYT’s moral maze
I feel the special stickiness coming from the host when discussing women and taking to female guests. Attesting to the disturbing tendency of a conservative asserting some sort of ownership towards women. I think it is an interesting program but there is something profoundly “cringe” about the way gender figures in his head and words.

United Kingdom17 days ago - Kirk’s Sidekick
