Thank you for your efforts

I began listening about a year ago because I was eager to hear a variety of opinions. I’ve always been “in the middle” leaning liberal. I especially appreciate that Michael is not afraid of tough subjects or controversial figures. Also Michael is respectful of every caller regardless of their views.

A 7 minute podcast?

Its a rare occasion when the podcast is more than 6 or 7 minutes. Maybe once a week its 25 minutes. Love Michael. Wish there was more to listen to.
