Customer Reviews
A podcast to save to listen & repeat .
A national treasure of our civic responsibilities to learn and inform others.
Incomplete information
It’s a well done podcast, but the amount of bias brings educational value into question. You would think that a civics/history podcast would fairly represent both sides.
Outstanding Podcast
Hannah and Nick are fabulous hosts. I’ve been listening to and enjoying this podcast for quite a while. I totally trust the information presented by them and in this current environment, that’s saying a lot. Today I’ve become a monthly sustainer. I should have done this a long time ago. Thank you for your hard work!
