Customer Reviews
Intelligent, rational discussion
Such a breath of fresh air to listen to calm, factual analysis of the systemic issues at the core of our rotten economic (racial and social) infrastructure from its inception. Thank you so very much. Anyone who claims to believe in social justice ought to be listening.
Family Law
Poor very poor sound. Her voice in and out. Such a wonderful topic. Sorry to have had this happen to her. Could not understand. Disappointed!! Love your show.
Episode 100, Flying with Sara Nelson, is inspiring
Great episode. And the show is always very interesting and entertaining.
(And ask Delta why they spend so much money trying to obstruct worker unions.)
