  • Talk Show Tanks Without Tom

    Never says anything critical of Trump, a great safe space for smooth MAGA minds to enjoy.

  • John is Great But…

    I love John’s wit and storytelling but wish they would run best of or have better fill in hosts! This TikTok celebrity they’ve been letting on is awful. Supposedly she’s a comedian but didn’t have one funny line the whole show. Just giggled at herself the whole time. KIRO is a reputable radio station. Not a social media clickbait content house for Gen Z twits!

  • One of my faves

    John always makes me think and then laugh. Given the local “news” is so biased, I think I am better informed with John’s deep dives into the local news.

  • Too Agreeable

    Are used to listen to this show for the disagreements between Tom and John. Since Tom left, I feel like the show lost its core strength where it’s now mainly the John Curley show with some differing opinion. I always appreciated listening to this show for perspectives on both the right and left. I found other podcasts that do that more effectively.

  • My favorite show, news and silliness!

    I’ve been listening since John found his way on the station. New listeners may not get the inside jokes but that’s what makes it great! I feel a bond for both John and Shari and hope the show keeps going for years to come!
