- Such Potential
Listening to the first 2 episodes and I really enjoyed it. Definitely a left leaning slant which was fine.

Apple Podcasts5MindlesstiedyeUnited Statesa month ago - Ford
At approximately 6:18 in the show the historian guest completely botched the name of the city of Ford’s facility. If you’re an “expert” or want to discuss any topic regarding a specific region, I would encourage you to learn local vernacular. It made me turn off and disregard. He may not have been a great guy, but to listen to someone who can’t pronounce the location/city name is correctly made me tune it out.
