Customer Reviews
Top class journalism
Do not miss out on wonderful interviews by the most highly educated, intelligent and knowledgeable hosts. I have learned so much over many years of listening. The subject matter is always entertaining and informative. It is so important to hear different opinions and perspectives other than your own. Definitely five star rating.
Always a Good listen
20+ years of listening to this show, it’s always good. I notice all the negative reviews in here are from either gun owners who can’t handle facts and/or racists. So, clearly they’re doing something right if they’re pissing off those groups.
Nicely done
Some news but then also a story that’s more in-depth. Rational, not just breaking news.
