Customer Reviews
Keep it (in my ears)
I love this podcast and hope I can listen to Ira & Louis talk and laugh together for the rest of my days. Their banter is so entertaining and witty, and in their interviews, it’s clear they truly know their guests’ work/background (either through thoughtful research, or as a genuine admirer) and are not BSing any of it. Or if they are BSing, their hosting skills are fine enough to mask it. Thank you for the excellent podcast.
great job justifying Eden’s treatment at Eurovision
Grotesque antisemitism in the justification of Eden’s treatment at Eurovision. Extremely self-righteous, ahistorical discussion of the controversy.
It’s giving anti semitism
If Ira doesn’t like the term anti semitism, we can replace it with Jew hatred, because that’s what he’s giving week after week. Thought I had found a new go to podcast but will be moving on, surprised it is on this podcast network.
