“I live in Oak Park and someone suggested the recent episode so I listened. I’ve now lost respect for that someone.
If you dig people who think they AREN’T racist and think they ARE funny but are wrong about both, this is the podcast for you.
I wish cancel culture existed so someone could put...”Read full review »

“But it depends on type of movie. Action movies no subtitles. A movie where the voice of the actor matters I only watch with subtitles.”

“Entertaining and informative podcast. It makes me feel sane in the current socio-political climate. Some of the topics are far more interesting than others. Sometimes the banter between J and K makes me LOL and sometimes it’s a little like “keep the convo moving, plz” anyway, I recommend to...”Read full review »

“This podcast is the best thing to come out of the pandemic. Jesse and Katie approach internet controversies with equal parts journalistic integrity and irreverence. They stay too online so I don’t have to! Also, the Primo community is a top notch internet space, you will love it if you’re not an...”Read full review »

“I usually don’t pay to listen to other people talk but Jesse and Katie can take my money all day. Well researched and very entertaining and varied content. They’re on Twitter so I don’t have to be. As someone who identifies as largely politically homeless, I feel like I’ve found my people here.”

“The podcast was so listenable the past few weeks in Jesse’s absence…Katie, please start your own podcast with a rotating panel of guest hosts and bring Jesse on like once a year! There’s a limit to how much smarmy self-satisfaction and blatant narcissism I can stomach.”

I particularly appreciate their discussions/exchanges surrounding the ethics of reporting and whistleblowers.

“B&R is not a primary news source but it will help you read the news, learn and understand the world better. It teaches me to look sideways and stories and, although I’m not going to “do the research” every time, I can at least read with a touch more doubt.”
