“The original version of the show was pretty good. The new one should probably be titled “Two Idiots Read Words They Barely Understand.”
My favorite example is in the March 21st when one of the host questions why the British colonies in America during the 18th century were buying tea from the...”Read full review »

“It saddens me that this show has come to an end. My gut reaction was, I wish I could’ve done something to help keep the show going. Though, it sounds like Jackson made the right choice for him and his personal goals. Proud of you! Will continue keeping up through other platforms!”

“Brian is an excellent podcast host and Cool Stuff Ride Home became a great way to start my mornings during stressful times. Unfortunately the sponsorship callouts gradually became too long and too many for me even though Bryan is a true maestro at them. There’s no way to pay to just have the fun...”Read full review »

“I stuck around for the first name change and reformatting because the show was still COVID-focused. Then the creators seemed to tire of thorough COVID coverage and completely rebranded, so I unsubscribed. I did listen to a few episodes of Good News Ride Home, but I was utterly uninterested as my...”Read full review »

Now that the show has changed; it’s still a fun lighthearted show, but not what I started listening for.
That being said, it’s still a good “pick me up” show when...”Read full review »

How can we know that polling places are safe? Polling places can be held in school auditoriums, meeting rooms, churches, and random buildings....”Read full review »
