  • Bright Spot in a Dark World

    I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed the show yet! I’ve been listening since 2021, maybe a bit longer, and as the world gets more bleak and my media sources narrow, this show stays on the rotation. Always talking about the important topics while bringing some level of humor that is desperately needed. Thank you for your hard work!
