  • Keep being “unspeakable”

    Your curiosity of all points of view is needed. May we listen to others, perhaps even read them. Thank you for your Shriver (she’s a brilliant author who is going to speak her mind) interview and a truly important conversation on sports betting.

  • Shriver

    Show is somewhat nuanced. The Lionel Shriver episode was annoying saying Democrats support “murdering babies” no one supports that.

    Shriver is a good writer but regurgitating Trump talking points is easy and not very thought provoking.

  • Lionel Shriver is a hypocrite

    She’s all “rules for thee not for me”. She conflates SAHM with becoming a parent. Because middle class girls and women can simply travel out of state that means everything is okay, screw poor women. I am more perplexed than enraged. She thinks she is the exception, but if she was 40 years younger she’d be lumped in with the rest of us childbearing age women. You are the childless cat lady. They are talking about YOU.

  • Don’t always agree, but that’s what I love

    I originally wrote the review below. Then today I listened to your interview with Lionel Shriver. Yikes, too much. I am not interested in listening l to this type of hateful talk—on either side. I’m disappointed you went this far. I’m sure you’ll find an audience…plenty of folks who thrive on hateful talk versus intellectual banter/exploration.

    This podcast is like weight lifting for the brain—It challenges me to learn new things and expand my thinking beyond what I’m typically hearing. Than... more
