Customer Reviews
Thought provoking and challenging
This episode on faith and politics in the USA was both thought provoking and challenging.
Giving a perspective from both (what one might call) the ‘Evangelical Left’ and Catholicism, the discussions frankly and openly discuss both the changing nature of this faith interaction with politics and contemporary issues and questions. Great podcast.
A sorry excuse for journalism
The fact that you would stand behind the dweebish mawkish aspersions cast by that sorry excuse of a journalist in his interview of RFK Jr. Keep going - you’re just proving his point.
Essential Listening
Intelligent, erudite, eloquent and vitally informative news and views from the thankfully sane body of U.S. opinion.
