  • Longtime consumer

    I’ve been a consumer since early 2000’s back to the early days of the website and magazine. Podcasts have been a regular part of my Saturday routine since I was in my 20’s. I’ve always appreciated the intentional balance this show presents. I was surprised today when I got hit with an ad for the “Lt. Dan” podcast… it’s Dan Patrick, the Lt. Gov of TX who is a highly partisan individual. I’m not abandoning the show, by any means, but that was a shock and I hope it’s an anomaly. Maybe the vague tit... more

  • Rude and Disrespectful to the women on the show.

    This podcast makes me crazy. The guys on this podcast never let Emily speak! They interrupt her, talk over her, make fun of what she is doing. It is completely rude and a horrible example of respect for women. I would expect more from a “Christian” podcast.

  • Tried again. Nope.

    I was getting tired of the anti-Canada rhetoric, so I stopped listening for a while. Ironically, I came back to try again and Jesse and Cameron make overt statement about their disdain for Canada. Cool guys. Did I mention Cameron also ironically did an ad read for how to be a good neighbour? Awkward.
