Brilliant podcast

Good place to visit for current events and actual news. Well done. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone seeking factual information about the current state of the nation.

Hit and miss

The “what would Jello do” episodes are excellent, thought provoking and very well written. The rambling episodes with AT staff sound like a bunch of hipsters self congratulating each other for being so cool.

Hdgggggggg ,

Love it!

It’s great! I hate leaving reviews, I like this so much I did it anyway.
