  • Great Show, Unique Topics and Perspective

    Finally a show that covers the issues differently. Being critical of the current administration doesn’t mean you are “far left”. Just like being critical of the previous one (which some on this show were) doesn’t mean you are “far right”. We need to talk to each other and be critical when it counts regardless of party.

    Titles the show “The Middle” and then advertises two guests who are both from the far left. Pass.

I find myself having views of both sides, but this podcast is not that. Even when the guest he has on gives an example that goes against the mainstream left views, the host always pushes back. Why even have a guest on if you are only going to agree with left side ideology. Let’s all remember we are humans at the end of t... more
