Interesting

Entertaining pod with fun banter among the crew. Love that they tackle current topics in the news and aren’t afraid to push back with light arguments.

Crooked Relief

Finally, a take from crooked that represents those who are conflicted between the harm reduction of toeing the “progressive” party line vs the very real implications of our govt actions in Palestine. I thought I was losing my mind for a couple weeks. So grateful for this show.

Yes! Timely with Elijah McLean!

Miles, I have one question for you: if everyone who is incarcerated was able to read a book and the world went a direction where 45 actually got held accountable… would you want him to be able to write, print and receive fanfare/ proceeds for a book about what he’s done to this country? What about Ethan Crumbly or his parents? Parkland shooter? I think we agree there are individuals who would benefit from such writings such as psychologists, psychiatrist, and therapist in context with textbooks and maybe we can find a way to pay proceeds for that.
