“I started to hear about this show towards the end of 2020 and started to like it around the beginning of 2021. Then I heard Negin on another pod. She somehow brought a light and breezy yet still informational and heartfelt perspective to a somewhat heavy event, I was feeling it. I told myself I’d listen to the first one after the inauguration, which for this pod would be literally the next day… and I’ve listened to every episode ever since!
Every other podcast or show like this is so heavy and bleak, they think everything is horrible for everyone and try to inform me, but all it does make me anxious and sad. FTN takes a much better approach because they try to inform me while keeping it light and jokey! And they find a way to do that with everything under the sun. This pod gets into the right and left and their values, gender, race, sexuality, social norms (I feel like y’all don’t get enough credit for this, no one else gets into social norms), trends, money, the media, and the powers that be without making feel like all those things are against me! And even if the guests start to spiral towards that, Negin’s beautiful soul, voice and demeanor always holds it together and brings it back. They don’t pull punches but never vilify anyone who doesn’t deserve it, they bring levity and nuance to all the topics. I think that’s in huge credit to the diversity of the guests, no ones coming in nervous or not knowing what they’re talking about. FTN keep it real WITHOUT being cynical and depressing. Brothas like me don’t wanna hear about how gloom and doom things are for the 9000th time, I wanna get my news in a warm, funny, non divisive, intelligent, and honestly informed way. FTN never fails to deliver that. When all the host sound like they’re complaining, a real American like Negin Farsad is the star that lights up the sky.”

“I love the banter on this show - Negin is great about including guests that span lots of different ideas and backgrounds. It does help that I agree with her on almost everything... :) Very funny and sometimes crud (hey, we're all adults here), I look forward to this podcast every week.”Read full review »
