Loved it

It was a great pod, very interesting points and discussions that were very well expressed. David and Lara were the most interesting set.

Wish the host rotation happened sooner

I stopped listening early because I wasn’t enjoying the discussion among the originating trio. Sorry to see it end just as others began to engage with Mike in the podcast I was hoping for… a Left, Right, and Center with Mike as the center. And if it were to come back as a less ideologically pure Political Gabfest instead, with a more invested set of co-panelists, I’m here for it.

Will miss this pod

I looked forward to this pod! It was unique, engaging, informative and fun!
