  • Honestly can Chris Quinn just go?

    The week he was on vacation was such a better week. Here’s the thing. People tune in to hear about Ohio - he’s not the attraction. I’d like 90% less of him. Leila, Lisa and Courtney do just fine without him and they have got to be as tired of his pontificating as the audience.

  • AI Writers Required, Facts Optional

    **Amending my review to add in that, since Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer are now AI-edited newspapers, I’m not sure what Chris Quinn’s purpose is anymore. PLEASE find other, non-AI sources for your news**

    In the most recent episode I listened to, Chris Quinn seemed to be “surprised“ that a judge rightfully struck down OMB‘s disastrous decision to hold all federal spending. If Chris doesn’t know that Congress has the power of the purse, and the Impound Control Act prohibits the White House ... more
