This podcast made me like podcasts! I love the empathy and compassion mixed with funny comments and real stories. It shows how valuable lived expertise is because they are able to interview guests in much more nuanced way.
Apple Podcasts5Jay DeeNolaUnited Statesa month ago - You two are still in a type of cult called California liberal socialism!

It was a good show until you began spouting your cultish beliefs and bashing us!
