- Truth coming from America
As an American living in the UK for over 15 years, it’s nice to hear the truth about my home country. I appreciate the unfiltered information and the delivery of it. The main stream media is failing in its job to inform. I’m glad there are podcasts like Blue Gal & Driftglass’ out here to bring the information needed in an educated & unfiltered way.

Deluded, out-of-touch libs consider themselves "left," but they’re just another voice for the obsolete, shady Dems. it’s sad & infuriating. Don’t waste your time.

Apple Podcasts5Myrna OUnited States9 months ago - Smart, funny take on our politics and culture
When the other podcasts on political news you listen to get you down and depressed, this one can deliver the news with wit, insight, humor, satire, and cussing. I love it. Driftglass and Blue Gal take the long view, with historical references up to the latest triumphs and tragedies of our existence. Bravo to this duo! And thanks.
