  • Channel promos and ads?

    It’s good journalism but to run a 3 minute fundraising promotion for the channel AND pack in regular ad breaks is ridiculous. People will pay 3.99/month if the content is worth it, so ditch the mid-show telethons and up the qualitu

  • Usually like the show but season 6 is stupid

    The subject of season 6 immediately comes off as so unreliable it baffles me why a show this good would make him the chief source of information. Disappointing

  • Good podcast

    Good podcast but a couple things stand out….one….if your friend is so drunk you need to drag them to the bus station -30° weather, you don’t go your separate ways. You see them to the door or take them home. Unfair to blame cops if there is somehow a bad outcome. Where were the friends? Also, if the city is disgusted, it’s k to complain about the city being disgusting. Doesn’t make somebody racist. Some truths are uncomfortable. It doesn’t mean they should be hidden.
