Customer Reviews
The Perfect Density
This is a political moment that often feels crushingly heavy. Probably even more so for Alabama’s progressive population. This podcast tackles current issues in a manner that is informative (providing context and history for listeners that may not be familiar with the intricacies of Alabama politics), balanced (Will and Heather do disagree on occasion), and intelligent. Heather and Will also have great interaction that feels friendly and genuine, which really helps to lighten the podcast into just the perfect density.
Lottery
I enjoy hearing your point of view. I do not feel Alabama needs to have a lottery. As corrupt as this state is, I believe it will further drag down the state as a whole. Alabama is also a poverty stricken state and could do more damage to those families. I feel those on borders of other states do join in but I don’t think it’s a significant number. Keep talking and I’ll keep listening.
Worth listening nationwide
