West ended ,

Good news and insights

But the ai headline reader is a little creepy.

canucksupporter ,

Acri podcast

I generally find this podcast great but the interview with Ms. Acri was sad. All her opinions but quoted zero studies or stats to back them up. Sounded like a radical left rant

Reid Baker ,

Sean and David

Great incite always.
