It’s Time
I am woke - fully awake, educated and aware - the Fascist Right are the opposite and its time to called them out as the FASCIST RIGHT whose leader resides in FASCIST Florida
Last straw
This is the year 2023! Are you two aware that there are people in your audience who are evolved enough to follow NCAA AND NCAAW?? Why just discus men’s March Madness?? I’ll protest with my finger and delete this podcast.
Sound! help!
Love your show but….
Please fix the audio!!! It’s hard to listen, other podcasts seem to have clear audio.
