I have been listening for a while & Brad is funny, smart, & grounded in reality. He questions things & willing to talk to people of differing opinions. He is a breath of fresh air.

Thank you

This is needed. Real gays are gender skeptics (or abolitionists).

One of the most consistent shows of its kind

I don't have to agree with Brad on everything to appreciate the way he approaches these issues with nuance, is consistent on his principles, hosts guests from a variety of perspectives, and uploads on a regular schedule-- which honestly can't be said for every podcast! He is less biased than most commentators, though it does sometime come out while interviewing certain guests (nobody is perfect).
