  • Michael Wolf is unlistenable

    While Mr. Wolf may have some interesting insight, he is truly insufferable to listen to. His endlessly egregious talking over and talking down to Johanna is disrespectful and tone deaf. And if Mr. Wolf’s persistent “um” tic and pronounced stutter are the result of medical condition, I apologize—but if that is not the case, he should be coached on how to speak in a way that doesn’t cause listeners to physically cringe. I hope this feedback helps improve his behavior moving forward, but I am unsub... more

  • Still normalizing…

    Referring to the 9/13/25 episode: By definition Kirk, the pres and others are not “conservative”. Please find an accurate description.

    Wolff is much more accurate

  • Wolff integrity

    I wonder why men like Micheal are not spotlighted for literally turning a blind eye to weak white men like epstein. His account of meeting him and the person who commented to him about proximity to evil were enough for his investigative approach to turn to uncovering that vile man. Idk. I guess it’s ok to meet them but not call them out post meeting them in case a book is in the future right?

  • Don Lemon

    is not a journalist. He brings nothing to the discussion as his takes are based on other people's reporting. A truly lame episode.

  • Disappointed in Don Lemon Conversation

    Very disappointed while listening to the Don Lemon conversation to hear both Don and the Host say RFK Jr has a point about obesity. The obesity argument is outdated and based on a BMI model that is not applicable to individual health. In a conversation that was about trusting science and not feelings, they seemed to have a lot of feelings about peoples’ body size. And then to offer that the solution is everyone should just go on ozempic? These people are not as smart as I had hoped.
