Recent changes
I like the recent changes to the SC Lede podcast. Your willingness to tweek & refresh is much appreciated. The dedicated political podcasts are very useful and informative. Keep up the excellent work! Thank you.
Finally, news I can stand!
20-25 minutes of relevant news with an informative, unbiased host. I usually avoid news because I get so tired of the endless spin cycle. I finally feeling like I can be informed without being preached to by one side or the other. Thank you Gavin and AT. Love the candidate coverage and the segment on abortion was a humane and refreshing handling of that sensitive subject.
