I was a fan of Joshua Johnson’s show on MSNBC, because I resonated with his diligent & informed approach. This podcast still keeps the same energy, which I appreciate! Keep on keepin on! ✊🏾

Grateful for your work. Miss you on 1A, man.
I loved you on 1A, this is even better. Thank you for your thoughtful, take-a-deep-breath approach to thorny issues. Cable news wasn’t right for you, you aren’t a bomb thrower. I think you found where you belong. Liz M
