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.

Truth, honesty, and see things as they are.
I’m an unapologetic progressive. So, thanks.
