I like the content but the segments are either updated irregularly or not at all. I often miss them live but try to catch them later on the pod and a lot of the time they’re just not there
Apple Podcasts4AdamConnaughtonIreland3 months ago - Great show and host
I really enjoy the segments especially the weekly one with Cal and Marion. It would be great if all the content was uploaded as podcasts as it seems to be hit and miss on what gets shared.

I love it just to listen to Cal Thomas elegantly swat away the righteous bleating and squealing from Matt & Marion on the US segments….looking forward to each weekly dose for the next 4 years!
