Customer Reviews
Can’t get enough of this podcast!
Chrissi cracks me up! Love her critical insights and the krazy way she expresses them. “Who’s checking for Tom Suaze?”
Uneven approaches by hosts
I find it disconcerting that while Greer is consistent in her outlook, Seigel seems to really tamp down his opinions (compared to published pieces) and rarely challenges her opinion or substantiates alternate perspectives.

Been enjoying this show for a few years now but the reflexive apologia whenever Eric Adams does something obviously stupid or obviously corrupt (or both!) is getting to be a bit much.
