In the thick has been a lifeline throughout the Trump 1.0, COVID, and beyond. I can always count on this show for honest, real conversation with credible, intelligent people as well as refreshing content on self care, joy & keeping it REAL. Mil Gracias María you are a true Gem! Miss Julio but love Christina & Paola 🤩

This was a breath of fresh air. I am a professional but not well versed in politics or the history behind some of these political social constructs. I really enjoy that the, hosts black and Latino address issues that are important to my community, and thus should be important to our society as a whole! This election season has got my anxiety on 10, I have truly enjoyed listening to Maria, as well as, one of her rotating hosts, Dr. Christina Greer who makes learning enjoyable and exciting! I highly recommend this podcast for those who want a chill, unpretentious discussion on politics today.

Cannot tell you how much I appreciate hearing voices like mine (and not just because everyone pronounces words in Spanish correctly!). ¡Mil gracias!

I am so very glad you’re back! I have missed you! This is the place excellent thoughtful knowledgeable passionate useful interesting perspectives and topics you don’t hear discussed in the mainstream media

Cómo ITT hizo falta and now gloriously back in our ears! ¡Aleluya!

you are back! Muchas gracias for the new format but more so for covering the border - the saddest story are the families that are dying and there’s literally no coverage in main stream media - btw - owned by white dudes- it is devastating and a disaster this country does not want to talk about so THANK YOU Maria and Julio and ur staff for talking about it- this is my go to place to hear the devastating reality of immigration policy and the reality no one seems to want to turn towards

Don’t give this podcast a minute of your time. Ugh. Weird entitled liberal spewing hate.

I listen to your podcast regularly and I am glad you have returned with new episodes. However, what I heard in today’s show was appalling. Your guest claiming to be a “revolutionary Islamist” was nothing but a reactionary, bigoted, machista. He claimed the idea of American Muslims embracing LGBTQ+ or trans people as “abhorrent”. In fact, he was so emotional about those remarks that I thought he was a right wing white evangelical bigot. As a Latino man (Puerto Rican and Mexican) I’ve had to unlearn very harmful views on race, gender, sexuality, and yes, religion. In fact, it is “revolutionary” to be brought up in NYC with all these isms around me and land in a much more open and democratic view of the world. Changing the reactionary catholic upbringing I escaped to have to hear a reactionary interpretation of Islam, is not what I expected to hear on ITT. As a regular listener, I suggest you apologize to your base, inform that reactionary that he is no longer welcome on the show, and, as you suggested, do another show that shares another point of view that is more democratic, equitable, and embracing of our broader community. There are lots of media outlets that spew that garbage and you don’t need to create another one.

This show is where I get much of my news. I love Maria and Julio’s love for what they do, but moreover I love their love they show to everybody. They show this through who they choose to interview, the questions they ask, and the fact that they are aware that everybody is a whole person—emotions and all. Oh, and the theme music always makes me want to dance.

Listening to a year in review and the comment that said that “In The Thick” was not to miss is spot on! I subscribe to many podcasts but I rarely miss an episode of In The Thick. I learn so much every episode. Thank you for the multi-layered and multi-faceted commentary.
