Don’t Always Agree, But The Content Is Excellent

Hello, I found your podcast on recommendation from Brandi Kruse as a regular listener of hers and I really enjoy it. Much like her show I don’t always agree with the stances taken but the information is high quality and thought provoking, to me that is what healthy debate is. I hope my home of Washington State can return to center from this far left strangeness that has overtaken it. People like you and Brandi and helping inform people on how to get involved and not lose hope for change. Keep up the good work.

I don’t trust these people.

Do you still work for Al Jazeera?

Why or why not?

Overall Good

I really like the show and the range of topics they cover. There’s some stuff I don’t agree with, but they bring an interesting perspective. Brad is measured and thoughtful in how he takes on topics. Hannah can be a little annoying and self-aggrandizing at times, but overall they’re offering more than what most others are in our crazy world.
