Customer Reviews
Best political podcast
This show should be required listening for all Americans. Knowledgeable panelists that provide a range of nuanced opinions, always based in reality. The composition of the panel leans a bit to the right, but none of them are blindly partisan.
Keep up the great work, Mona!
Never miss a show!
Stimulating conversations and they don’t always agree. That’s ok! It’s important to share one's own view and hear different views.
Excellent podcast!
Finally! I have found a group of educated thinkers that share their opinions and knowledge in a rational, civilized and respectful way.
Great quality content which tries to make sense, in the best possible way….. of today’s political circus. The listening is very enjoyable and because nobody interrupts, this allows the participants to delve deep into the subjects.
