Really enjoy this podcast.

I’m so thankful for finding this podcast. I really learn and enjoy exploring the different topics that are so important today. For years , I considered myself a news junkie somewhat. But as internet , cable tv and radio options grew, I felt that many of my news sources were forced to compete for ratings. I limit my news options and have discovered many informative podcasts. I have found that I enjoy more in-depth conversations and guests who are very informed on the various topics. It doesn’t matter if I agree or disagree, I’m trying to understand and learn and I don’t find that as easy anymore with the extreme voices who get the microphone more than people who are sensible. I really love the poem in the beginning and enjoy hearing about its meaning. The hosts set a great tone and invite great conversation through their comments and questions. I’m very worried about 2024. And that makes me sad to think about.
