Customer Reviews
Great info
This is a great, informative podcast, but I need to quit listening to it for a while because I’m losing my mind over how dumb SO many people are!
More JVL
I love this podcast and Sarah brings it every week, but the folks/voters can be beyond frustrating. The level of uninformed or misinformed folks out there is scary. JVL calls these voters out for what they really are, but in a nice way…extremely washed in non factual opinions. Tim Miller also great when he jumps on this podcast.
5/26
Excellent! Sarah provides a deeper understanding of voters in NC.
