Customer Reviews
Marc Elias ROCKS!!!!
Marc is a National Warrior for American Democracy. Great podcast, great guests. I learn so much from each & every show.
Defending Democracy
Great show. I listen to all episodes. Latest with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse may have been the best ever.
BUT I cannot everything when I am outside anywhere near traffic even with max volume. I do not have this problem with any of my other podcasts. It used to be the volume balance between Marc and the guests was bad. One I could just hear at max, for the other I had to turn down the volume. Hence I deducted one star.
Marc is a hero
Not all superheroes wear capes. Marc is a superhero in a (law) suit. So grateful for all his hard work on behalf of the American people.
