Customer Reviews
75% of the panelists are great…
…it’s Ann Delaney (democrat) that is very rude to the other panelists and hasn’t had a good counterpoint in many many years (probably goes with Dems being out of office for over 20 years in state offices); just regurgitating general “repubs bad” or trying to stereotype every repub when it comes to every issue just shows she has nothing to say and should have been replaced many years ago.
When they have a different democrat on, it jumps to 4 1/2 stars, with only a half star off for…the sound level is way off, especially when it compares to other podcasts.
Great content but audio mix needs work
The format of this podcast is great and provides an informative look at what is happening in Indiana. I recommend it to all of my Hoosier podcast listeners. My only critique is the sound mix is often too low compared to any other podcast I listen to, I often have my car and phone speakers at max.
Love the show, please watch language
This show is a regular weekly listen or watch for me. I like hearing both sides, even if I don’t agree.
BUT, more than once I’ve heard John mention “lifestyle” or “choice of lifestyle”, this week actually. I know he means the LGBTQ community, but being a member of the LGBTQ community isn’t a lifestyle choice. It’s people living their lives who happen to be part of the LGBTQ community. Please check this.
