Customer Reviews
Forgot how much I love this pod
Highly recommend this show to anyone who’s interested in what’s going on in LA.
Biased Reporting Against Israel and Jewish Community
After listening to this podcast from day 1, I have unsubscribed because they reporting is increasingly one-sided and biased toward Israel and the Jewish community.
Ad to content ratio
The reporting is good, but there is regularly more ads than content in each episode. I get it, need to pay the bills, but it’s forcing me to skip the listen all together.
