A Needed Perceptive Voice
Dec 2
Heard Astead on Sarah Longwell’s Bulwark Focus Group on YouTube. Impressive. He gave me a lot to think about. Intelligent and thoughtful. Even if you don’t agree with every one of his opinions, he’s clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend this podcast!
The Run-up -A great show
Nov 22
Thank you for such a great show. The past two years have been informative, funny, and frightening. But you gave us insight into real people and help me remember how real Americans feel. I will miss your weekly installments!
Accountability problem
Nov 23
In your interviews with undecided voters, you never corrected them on the misinformation they were spouting. Nor did you circle back to provide clarity for your listeners. I thought journalists were supposed to provide the truth even when it’s not what people want to hear. Please work in this!!! On a totally petty note: Have you considered a nasal strip? You consistently sound congested and when all I have is your voice, it’s very distracting.
“Wickedness and genius can walk together.”

That was a wise assessment by one of your family members. Your Thanksgiving update was most appreciated. The bottom line, we have Joe and Jill Biden to thank for our current predicament. Arrogance and false pride allowed them to manage and hide his deteriorating condition from the American people.
