Was an avid listener

I was a big fan, but did not like the way you insulted Talib. There are people dying, have some class.

Inspiring & educational!

Every episode I have listened to is worth the time AND thought provoking as hosts, Chuck & Mike, share past political history of all parties and current up to the minute data/facts of voting patterns of our changing country. Not only in the Southwest or NYC & Miami but in all corners of our country
the Latino population is growing ,is younger & is entrepreneurial .Truly, the future is Latino. One criticism is: poor sound quality which could be fixed easily. I’ll keep listening & learning. Thanks!
