Beta
Sagar please delete this lying fool. He lied for an hour. Otherwise great show even though I don’t agree on everything and crystal is growing on me.
So sad to say goodbye
I’m very sad to unsubscribe, but the show has been unlistenable vitriol in regards to Israel. I can’t do it anymore. I hope to see more balanced content in the future.
My prior review is below:
This is my daily must-listen show! Krystal and Saagar always have interesting takes on the news, and work to be very informative. Thanks for a show that offers multiple perspectives and keeps discussions healthy and friendly!
Israel non-stop
I used to love this show and was a paying subscriber but I can’t stomach the Israel/palestine bonanza that breaking points has become. It’s been uncritically all about this “genocide” since Oct 8. Not a fan of Israel here, but the moral clarity everyone seems to have on this issue is simply sycophantic.
