If you want to know something about anything that happened between 2012 and today, which coincidentally was an extremely turbulent, politically fraught, and interesting period for our state…it’s almost certainly covered here.
Editorialize Too Often

I love this show, but it is very frustrating when the hosts will, at times, insert their own opinions and then attempt to frame them as a question in a effort to force a response from the guest. I’m all about hardball questions, but I would prefer it if there was less editorializing on the part of the hosts.
