Important podcast, needs better editing
I have really enjoyed listening to this podcast! It’s informative, insightful, and often very interesting!
There are a few issues I take with it, however– I think sometimes, the podcast tends to resort to esoteric terminology that’s difficult for a call me an audience to understand. Also, it would be nice if the audio levels could be balanced and the room acoustics could be worked out a bit better because sometimes it’s difficult to understand what people are saying.
Can’t wait to hear about future topics, thank you all so much for dedicating your time to doing this!
We’re right; they’re racist.
Has a unilateral political agenda.
If the USA is so racist, why are so many trying to live here?
“Shine the light” on the other side. Expose their corruption. The reality is the other side riddles the criticism with lead.
I do not agree that the problem is so simple.
The “white men” are racist; the guests are righteous guardians of the truth.
Amazing Podcast Design
Been listening to podcasts for years now and the Cashlessness episode was one of the best I’ve ever heard. The soundscapes were amazing and it was deeply engaging and informative. Please more episodes like this one!
