Customer Reviews
Pretty Good
Really a good show, especially considering they are just getting started. My only critique would be that they stay on topic a little better and try to stay away from Penn State wrestling (it seems that once this subject comes up they get stuck a little).
Joe, the main host, is very engaging and really holds my attention, especially when he is talking about the climate.
Please: more climate facts and explaining to laymen how our climate really works and less wrestling!
I will definitely keep listening if they stay on track
PS- if your gonna talk about wresting so much maybe talk about some WWE? Although it’s theater it’s a little more interesting and entertaining than original wrestling.
Counter Point on Climate Change Hysteria
Great idea on the podcast. I think the show needs a little more polish and structure to become great. I do like his plan to have folks come on who have a different opinion.
