Customer Reviews
So good
Great way to catch up on the week of politics and actually understand what is going on. Love the neutral approach but also the clear passion each host shows.
Entertaining interesting and honest
These ladies have great insight to political world and give a great rundown of the week of politics in a short weekly pod !
Too much laughing for a serious topic
I have persevered as the content is informative but the laugh does my head in. In todays episode it seemed inappropriate at times too.
