Zoe Kraj ,

Chris and Mike arguing is very amusing!

I listen to this show for entertainment even though normally I can’t stand politics.

S a D

Perfect combination of the some what informed vs the well informed. If you watch the news and listen to all the sound bites your left with more questions than answers.
Mike brings the questions and his co-host Frates brings the well informed answers.

Is good

Oscar said a few moths back that TMOS has a long tail. This is proof.
