Customer Reviews
Danielle Moodie unleashed
No shade to the rest of the team, but Danielle Moodie is on fire. In the past few weeks she has been letting it fly. She is witty and gritty and searingly accurate. Her precision and creativity in her expression elevates the funny to new heights. I’m in awe and laughing through the tears.
I like this show but it kinda hurts my ears
Basically The New Abnormal is Andy Levy and somebody with a loud grating voice cranks the moral indignation up to 11 at all times, yelling at full volume. I like the Andy Levy part of the show; I don’t like listening to somebody yelling at me and constantly ranting.
Always makes me laugh
I admit I listen to too many political podcasts that are left leaning but only this one makes me laugh at least once during the show. Some of the topics and stories I’ve heard before but I always tune in for that guaranteed laugh. Didn’t listen when Rick Wilson was co-host and wish I had. He is hands down my favorite pundit. No reflection on Andy Levy though. He is insightful and very funny too. Love the show and its slanted humor.
