Great show
I believe I lean right of center, but I do throughly enjoy this podcast.
Don’t miss out on this party!
Not sure what took me so long, but I am so grateful I finally showed up to the Moderate Party podcast. Hillari Lombard offers a steady, inquisitive voice, moderating (😉) the conversation with genuine curiosity and hopeful but sober outlook. Her only agenda seems to be to create a real space for diving deep on topics that don’t get much fair treatment or time in popular media sites. I just feel better knowing their are others out there asking the same questions I am - even when we know easy answers don’t exist. Thanks to Hillari Lombard for throwing this much-needed weekly get-together.
Fresh perspective - always learn something new
I like this podcast a lot. I always learn something new and it’s nice to be able to hear about politics without feeling like you’re being fed rhetoric or spin. MORE FOREIGN POLICY EPS PLEASE
