Renato,
Do people confuse you with Mathew Fox (Jack Shephard)? "If we can't live together, we're gonna die alone."
Amazing
This podcast has become one of my very favorites. It’s like if your best friends happened to be top legal experts and they’re over at your house drinking coffee with you. I always feel more informed AND more calm after listening. Have recommended it to everyone I know!
So tired
This is the third pod I’ve tried to listen to today and the third time I’ve given up in disgust at the oh so righteous white folks condemning the black lady. Gag! I’m a white woman in my 70s and I’m sick of it. Molly should know better — an apology is needed!
