Customer Reviews
Love it but….
I can not listen to this podcast when Gideon is filling in. His large gasps of breath are annoying. Shumita please hurry back
Not a fan since the switch back to Basu
I started listening to this podcast when it was covered by Gideon Resnick, thoroughly enjoyed it, and the return to Shumita Basu has been rough for me.
Reports seem slower and more ponderous.
I may be removing this one soon unless I can get used to this way.
Biden out, Harris up
I’m not too keen on politics, but have gotten to know President Biden (mainly from his VP term w/then President Obama), and also VP Kamala Harris. So glad to have gotten to know them both. I also admire, and will always respect the way President Biden played his political card(s) to a nice ending. And all he had done with international affairs to his respect via foreign world leaders. Enjoy the rest of your term Joe, and Kamala, I’m of course ready to join you to kick butt! Much love for both. Take care and be safe!
