Brilliant, thorough, engaging

Love all of Mike’s work. He puts so much into his episodes and shows. I’ve learned so much listening to him and reading his books. Will miss the Revolutions podcast, but absolutely will follow Mike onto whatever he does next.

Please Reconsider!!!

Mike I hope you reconsider this plan to do basically what sounds like an NPR “book worm” show where two progressives give the rest of us yet another patronizing lecture on what they think of this or that book. Sounds absolutely awful and unlistenable. Let me save you from this crazy idea- don’t do it!

Just coming across your Twitter, it’s too partisan for me. I don’t believe people want more of that.

Instead take 6 months rest with the family and come up with a suitable subject and even include Alexis if that’s what you want. Save this review- you’ll thank me later.

Regardless, I enjoyed years of this Podcast and thought you did a great job and want to thank you for a job well done!

So thorough

The perfect balance of detail and pace. I’m so grateful for this podcast.
