  • ITS GREAT

    I love that LPN’s got politics. Serena and Travis are informed, casual, not punching above their weight, keeping it light enough while being real, idk. Great job. The foreign report is GUUUD. Me not dumb dumb but me sometimes need slightly easier listening than like a deep dive heavy duty history audiobook on geopolitics. This is great, it’s exaaaactly what I want.

    And listen, I’ll say it: it’s funnier than The Majority Report. TAKE THAT SAM SEDER.
