Loving this pod and W. Kamau’s vibe all around.
Have loved Kamau since first hearing him on WTF. The world needs more smart funny people with microphones. I’m seated!
Love how you do the things you! 😏 We are feeling inspired refreshed and encouraged after today’s episode.
I’m m so thrilled you have a new podcast. I’ve missed Politically Reactive sooooooo much.
Tried to listen to the Kristin Kish episode. I walked away. I think she spoke maybe 30% of the whole time allotted to her. That’s too bad, she’s a smart, fun and super interesting person. So is Kamau but you have got to give your guests some space.
