These pods are free of any novel or worthwhile, journalistic or expert information. The ‘Melania’ and ‘Trump voters’ episode is free of content entirely. ‘Man on the Street’ takes, be it from the unwashed masses or journalists standing in for them is not research or journalism. This show does not deliver what’s promised in the title. Complete waste of time .
