  • Guns

    I am anti-gun and am even more appalled at the gun culture in the US after listening to this podcast. I always get a chilling feeling whenever I drive by gun shops. Now I am even more repulsed from knowing the lobbying and “educating” that takes place in them. I know gun ownership, even gun safety, are extremely complicated issues which are virtually impossible to solve any day soon. I pray to God that my family and future grandchildren will forever be free from gun violence.

  • Interesting topics / disappointing format

    Interesting topics and great speakers that thoroughly know their subject. However, the format is rather dull, overly scripted and pushes one sided views. This podcast could benefit from some actual debate and more diverse perspectives.
