Customer Reviews
One of the best!
Highlands Bunker is one of the best podcasts to stay up to date with local politics here in Delaware. Love all the interviews with activists, candidates and leaders throughout our state. If I had to leave feedback, I would say audio could use a bit more processing. Throughout the podcast I have to constantly increase and decrease the audio levels. A simple compressor on the master audio file would fix it in no time. Looking forward to you guys creating more content in the future!
Excellent
Highland Bunker not only provides important local Delaware politics and news, but also questions some of the assumptions that underpin our current cultural and political landscape on a more universal level. These conversations allow us to look for ways to take actions towards a more harmonic community. At the same time if something is absurd, it will be called out for the problem that it is.
Vanella always brings a ton of energy and insight, but also a curiosity to learn from the amazing guests he has onto the show. I have taken away a new idea from every episode. I personally support this podcast because we need more conversations coming from the PEOPLE not media ceos.
LEFT is BEST!
Delaware Activists Activating
Highlands Bunker does a great job knitting together Delaware's left of center activist communities. Conversations are always on point without being preachy.
