This podcast has extreme political bias which seriously undermines the credibility of everything that is presented.
Apple Podcasts1WeinissUnited Statesa month ago - Ugh the host
This show is occasionally entertaining and informative, but Astead Herndon is annoying and the way he talks really grates on my nerves. He seems to love the sound of his own voice, and his own opinions. I think his dream job would be to interview himself every week as an expert.
Apple Podcasts1ChilistructureUnited States2 months ago - Unlistenable
All the weird sound effects they insert over their own talking make this a sensory nightmare to listen to. It used to be good, but they went way over the top for … what?
Also, when a short podcast is nearly half ads, that’s just unnecessary.
