Customer Reviews
Always a a great Listen
So illuminating. Been listening from the beginning. Thanks for keeping listeners informed and for how joyful the conversation gets now & then.
Interesting
Entertaining pod with fun banter among the crew. Love that they tackle current topics in the news and aren’t afraid to push back with light arguments.
Crooked Relief
Finally, a take from crooked that represents those who are conflicted between the harm reduction of toeing the “progressive” party line vs the very real implications of our govt actions in Palestine. I thought I was losing my mind for a couple weeks. So grateful for this show.
