The anti-vaccine, ant... more

  • Great local coverage of topics that matter

    This is a stellar program and I promote it every time I get a chance. Having local Oregon journalism is important and Dave Miller and the “think out load” team do an incredible job. My only complaint is there aren’t more oregon news podcasts.
