Customer Reviews
Steamrolled
Please don’t have Michael LaRosa on again. He contributed little to the conversation and steamrolled the host.
LOVE Julie Mason!
What a treat! Please have her back!
Bipartisan podcast
Very tough to find a bipartisan podcast. Even though I find myself listening to the other side and getting angry, I appreciate the effort and Tara’s excellent interviewing skills.
