Please get rid of Sarah Isgur
I’ve been enjoying the show for a while now, but I was disappointed to hear the awful voice of Sarah Isgur on at least two recent episodes. Please stop. I appreciate that at least on this show so far, she has stuck to fairly neutral political analysis rather than spewing her most disgusting rhetoric. But the fact remains that her “opinion” is just nonsensical, VERY thinly veiled hate speech disguised by some vaguely academic sounding words, and no serious news organization has any business employing her. I’ve already stopped listening to Left, Right, and Center because of her. I will stop listening to Start Here as well if you continue to have her on.
