The day after the Buffalo tops shootings
Love the show. Crazy how the episode school colors came out today the day after the Buffalo tops market shootings. I’ve lived in Rochester ny my w tire life and I see the issues still. Worse in some areas since the trump days. NY needs reform in our school systems, prisons systems and buries/countries and all schools. Every human deserves to be treated equally and NY isn’t headed in a good direction. Humans learn behavior when it’s not a mental illness and even then peoples environments make who we are at the core. Thank you for helping being the stories and making listeners more aware and awake to the human condition. We need more love and kindness everywhere. #prochoice #blacklivesmatter #spreadkindness. #peacenotwar
Up First
Short, information is well researched. A great way to start my day off. Thankful for the podcast. GC Really look forward to getting the Podcasts. Would prefer a more mature greeting: “Hey there .....” is more tuned to greeting horses. Have my High School students to listen and write a review for extra credit. There is HOPE for future from these insightful young people. Thanks for giving my students something to learn from besides me. Dr. GC “Hey”. I don’t appreciate the silly response opening today. Normally hosts sound professional. 7/21 reminds me of 2 immature teens. Long “Heeeey “ and attempts to answer phone was unprofessional. Almost turned off but rest of podcasts was good. Dr, GC Please stop long litany of those contributing to producing show. Boring and it is their job. Takes too long to hear list. Deleted another podcast for this issue. Hopefully you can see my message and STOP repeating whom to thank. Dr. GC Still hearing long litany of helpers. Not sure if it is necessary to daily report on people doing their job. Imagine they are paid for their work? Thanks, Dr.GC
Once again like podcasts but dislike long litany of people that need thanks. Waste of time to hear all people earning money with fragile egos. Do they really have to hear their names listed?

Love the show despite some blatant biases
Often the first show I listen too because oh how early it is published. Can’t say I agree with all the analysis or even the topic they choose to highlight, but great source of news with a clear leftist bias
