Great topics
Great topics and really cool guests. #htown
Very interesting and informative
I am not a Progressive, but I do like to know about the world around me and this podcast does a great job at unraveling complex subjects in a way that every day people like me can understand. I don't have a ton of time in my day but I find when i listen to this while I jog or doing errands, it's a great way to pass the time.
Congrats on a Great Pod!!
