Customer Reviews
I hope it's not the end for this incredible podcast
Easily the smartest and most interesting podcast out there, featuring some of the most progressive and intellectual voices of our time. I'm sad Jamil is leaving but I'm so hopeful it'll continue on somehow.
Intelligent and punch to the gut
This is a rare and informative podcast that never talks down to its listeners but always surprises and assumes intelligence and good faith. The latest episode about the murder of Tamir Rice was both harrowing and impossible to not listen to. Thank you for talking about these things in such a smart, kind way.
