Customer Reviews
The best fact-based IN-DEPTH news Podcast
Yes, the host is biased - TOWARD REALITY.
If “the pursuit of facts” is considered too liberal by some then they can go to mainstream media which has surrendered to radical talking points instead of facts, details and careful analysis.
Fabulous insights.
If you want deeper analyses and insights this is the show for you. Interesting and relevant guests and intelligent incisive conversations. Fabulous!
