  • Iadarola is the 🐐

    This is the only TYT podcast I still listen to. John Iadarola is a delight. His humor makes the heavy news cycles feel less hopeless while his insights are pretty much spot on.

  • The only tyt Pod left to listen to!

    So at one time they ran ice ads. Now I’m hearing Fox News ads. It’s sad how much tyt has fallen! John is the only one left that seems to still be on the left! Only John’s show deserves 5 stars.

  • Thank you John!

    The damage report is really the only TYT show I can listen to anymore. Chenk & Ana have gone off the rails & would much rather chase clout with right wing influencers nowadays.
