I know that listening to behaviors and actions by Trump and his administration’s goons can be a bit much to handle so early to bedtime but I find Joanna and Michael, and the other host to be so incredibly insightful and fascinating. They have a way of bringing horrible news to actions and behaviors of all these terrible people more palatable.
Thank you for all your efforts and hard work!

Re Daily Beast, I Love It!
I love the chats these two have together. I really like David’s humour, his outrage, his chummy vibe - he’s just incredibly appealing. Have him on more often please!
