  • Best of the Best

    Charlie is one of the reasons I starting listening to podcasts. I was so sad to see him leave the daily Bulwark podcast and now I’m over the moon to have him bad in my podcast feed. Interviews are top notch and his ability to discuss day to day (or minute to minute at this point) topics with his guests are worth the listen! I subscribe to the substack, but I’m so happy to have him back in my ear. 5 Stars all the way!!! Thank you, Charlie!
