Alex keeps you entertained while telling some short news stories. He keeps his audience interested in the world and himself. This show is an all around great podcast!! I listen to it every morning!
Alex is a young man, but he is smart and entertaining. He is a talented musician as well as a hard working podcaster. His podcast is enjoyable and his take on the world is unique. I can’t express enough that you give an episode or two a try.
