Olsen is a wonderful pollster and thinker. I think the show scratches my itch for political content but let’s throw a little fun into it too!!!! I think having video would absolutely elevate the podcast and bring far more options. For instance, I would LOVE an episode called STRIP TRIVIA, wherein Olsen and his esteemed guest MUST take off an article of clothing for each bit of Trivia missed. LOL. Just a silly idea hahha. Keep up the good work!!!
