Customer Reviews
Top notch thinking
Such a great way to look at media and American values of free speech. So appreciate how they offer their clear perspective.
But dudes, you have got to bring the paid version here or make it easier to listen as a paid subscriber. I’m pretty sure my husband is going to get into a car accident trying to listen, pause, etc while driving. Please!
Crappy take on Israel
Two incredibly intelligent people trying to get us to believe they can’t spend a day or two educating themselves enough to comment is really not a great look. Come on gentlemen!
