Tomes JT ,

The right bias :)

I appreciate the show’s upfront political philosophy and not trying to pretend there is bias in the shows and who the audiences are.

This show can and should be listened to across the political spectrum as it doesn’t make ad hominem or haymen arguments or logical points like so many other shows that claim political objectivity or journalistic non-bias.

Also the guests are fascinating and the cross section of tech, culture, and politics is extremely appealing to me.

Straight 🔥

Politics, tech, and culture from a libertarian perspective. Kent is ok too I guess
