  • Love the context

    Both hosts are able to provide a lot of background into the news they discuss. That background is especially helpful if you haven’t been following oklahoma government; in the space of a few episodes you’ll be caught up to follow along with what’s going on politically in the state. Both hosts bring their own perspectives but neither are antagonistic to each other, which is refreshing.

  • 2 out of 3 isn’t bad

    Very well done podcast. The topics are fascinating and relevant. As a registered independent it’s hard to find a show that’s not jaded. I like that Neva stays on the topic of policy and doesn’t get petty about politicians on the left. I wish Ryan would take a note from her and let his pettiness towards Still and Walters aside as it gets in the way of a good discussion.
