Customer Reviews
May We Have this Dance
Excellent - The authenticity and Joy of the Lindy culture, as passed down by Frankie Manning. He was a treasure: kind, modest and thoughtful. Cheers to those who celebrate the feel of the music.
Homeless Populations in Democratic Run Cities
Why don’t you do a story on why Democratic run cities have the highest homeless populations? Your story should explain how many of the homeless are mentally ill and should be in mental hospitals, because they are murdering innocent law abiding citizens!! Did you hear about the UCLA grad student (24 yr old young woman) who was stabbed to death by a homeless man in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles? She was working at a furniture store on the afternoon of Thursday, January 13th. Or what about the 70 year old Nurse who was attacked and killed by a homeless man at Union Station in Los Angeles? This is a crisis you should be speaking about!!!
Falling From Grace
I have enjoyed this podcast for years but they’ve really moved away from journalism ethics that report the whole story and are moving into one sided journalism that supports agendas. Dr. Malone is as credible as any doctor out there and for NPR to only say negative things without saying his credible history is one sided and wrong.
