The real deal!

Michael is the real deal when it comes to DIY podcasting. Amazing content. Great questions. Professional work all around. Amazing podcast based in Iowa!

CaliNate101 ,

Laughable and agenda filled

I tried but listening to how a business billionaire is a victim of antisemitism because he was called evil was too much for me.

Pocket warrior ,

Could be so much better

Just report the facts, and please leave your political leanings out of business updates. The host is overtly left leaning, which in itself is fine, but he lets that ruin what should simply be the facts by spinning everything against the president.
