The Untampered Story Is Here

I love the rhetoric: the facts are seasoned with a little sarcasm, but the quips are concerning obvious conclusions and do not allude toward any sort of political spin. The humor only serves to break up an otherwise torrent of facts. Gossip and editorials are easy to find, but the untampered story is here.

This team deserves to get paid, so there are ads and (as a grateful listener) I have no problem with the quantity.

Total Mike Baker crush

This guy is hilarious! I love how he injects humor into serious stories and I think he’s the best host for a short news show. I occasionally see him in interviews as well. Fantastic!

This podcast gives me all the news of the day in a concise format without slathering it with political opinion. And I love the sarcasm. Keep up the great work.
