Customer Reviews
Disappointed
I have been a Start Here listener for a few years now. I am very disappointed in how this election is getting covered. You are not covering enough of Trumps vile plans for our country (project 2025) and focusing way to much on this “so called” shift in his campaign. This show and the media in general is also focusing way too much on President Biden’s poor debate.
I will continue to listen but I just felt the need to say something. I still love this podcast.
Have a nice day

What About The Lies
Where is the information about all the lies spewed during the RNC speeches?!? What about all the debate lies by Trump? Not okay! Such media bias from a normally fair source!!
Love the puns
I have to listen to start here every morning. I love the puns that Brad shares in the one last thing. I just listened to the article about Trader Joe’s in Korea and I couldn’t stop laughing at the bagel jokes. You have to listen carefully or the will slip right by you.
