Love this show…but

I’m outside their market and listen via podcast. Pod posting is so erratic. Sometimes early, more often very late and lately not until the next day when the news cycle has flipped and the pod is old news. Wish they’d set a deadline for themselves and stick with it. It makes me wonder if behind the scenes WMAL is all chaos.
Great Show

This is a fear mongering podcast created to push propaganda and keep the pay to play, rich over poor, machine rolling for Trump. Follow the money…
