  • Joy-less Reid

    Utterly terrible. Just a continuation of her delusional MSNBC show but somehow worse. Riddled with TDS to unhealthy levels. Still at least she can’t be fired from this one

  • I ride for you

    Give you five stars because the substance is always there, but girl, you need to run your podcast through an editor and delete out the times you’re speaking over. I guess who you can’t hear or these big gaps of silence. Pretty jarring when you’re in otherwise enjoying the podcast to have these mistakes left in the final.. all live.
