  • Too long for a daily show

    Show used to be great but they have doubled the length of each show. I don’t have the time to listen to a full half hour - that was kinda the point. I am going to have to unsubscribe. Show is interesting but they gave no warning to listeners of the new format which shows a certain blindness or lack of care towards their audience.

  • Unfortunately recently only seems to promote Leftist ideas.

    Used to be a tremendous Podcast but increasingly has featured mostly Leftist positions rather than a providing a platform for all ideas through a unbiased lens. I thought at first that it was because most media and authors are academic Left so that is natural, but increasingly has started to feel like some of the topics are bordering on propaganda and other topics are censored.
