  • Way too biased even for a leftie like me

    I enjoy the daily format and have listened almost daily for 2+ months. I'm very progressive politically so align mostly with the views of the hosts and guest hosts but it has just become almost satirical in how biased the opinions expressed on the show have become. There is ZERO nuance of the issues. I think the show would be improved if there was a more centreist voice or view presented along side the overt wokeness.
