Time to change the intro

Love the show, which is consistently entertaining and informative for people willing to crawl into the weeds of the right-wing fringe lunatic set. One thing, though: the weekly intro keeps telling us Will’s book will be out in February. That’s true. But it’s now May. Please change the intro.

Excellent coverage

The Will Sommer - Kelly Weill team are great

Interesting and funny

Just listened to the August 24, 2022 episode. Interesting and a little scary. But come on guys …. You’ve never heard of Boney M .. ‘Rasputin’??? It’s a classic! Lol. You’re showing your age (or maybe my age) ;)
