Customer Reviews
Decent but really weak on actual issues
This podcast is really solid in having reporters and guests that don’t use the word “like” continually in their delivery This alone should give them subscription status because their discussion is clean and clear!
The topics shift - great
Skip the shows where the title doesn’t seem right except understand you might screw yourself on a great discussion.
Overall: Unexpectedly Irrelevantly Mesmerizing
Wayyyy too many ads

Hate to see plagiarized work
Huge bummer to see a recent episode blatantly plagiarizing another well-researched and well-written podcast. Jamie Loftus deserves better than to have her work ripped off.
