Customer Reviews
Great dudes exploring the power of ideas
I get my left wing comedic irony from other sources. Sam and Matt actually give me stuff to think about, books to read, theoretical frameworks to debate…ultimately, it’s a smarter show, and likely a more valuable one in the long term vs. more immediately gratifying, “entertaining” fare. If you have an academic background (I don’t but I’m trying to catch up), this podcast is your dream come true.
Amazeballs!
Quite a pair comrades.
Disappointingly cynical and sadly divisive
It is too simple and easy to suggest that everyone on the other side is stupid and/or evil. We already have too much of this content happening on both sides. Please consider moving toward promoting concord honestly over increasing the polarization in the name of entertaining listeners.
