  • Gaza & Adeena Sussman

    The fact that Gaza was not mentioned when talking about Isreal is pathetic. A bunch of cowards. Especially Matt, the biggest coward.

  • Whole Foods bribed you

    Listened to the Spain feature which was way over the top publicity for Whole Foods. The enthusiastic , gee whiz promotion of Whole Food was astounding. Figured it was a junket, which apparently is no longer unethical for people posing as journalists of many sorts. This was confirmed when I saw several other food centered pods etc. discussing Spain and Whole Foods.

    Sigh. No longer listening to this podcast.
