Chris and “trav” are the best and most honorable youtube/podcast content creators. I love their motivation and passion and I love how intelligent they are. Thank you Chris and Travis. (Also thanks for following me on twitter)
Apple Podcasts5ZaxxzaxsnsgsnkkqaaUnited States3 years ago - saddening
giving a 5 star review just to combat the wave of 1 star reviews i’m seeing complaining about “address anti-semitism” despite it having absolutely nothing to do w the podcast.. pls shut up
Apple Podcasts5Himothy2121United States3 years ago - Pretty gross. Hosts ignore anti-semitism
Instead of breaking down decade old lyrics, hosts should break down Ye’s daily long-form interviews filled with lengthy anti-semitic and anti-black tirades. Ignoring the daily headlines is disgusting. I can’t keep listening unless this gets adequately addressed. The podcasts’ coverage of his anti-semitism should get LINE BY LINE discussion.
