Customer Reviews
Luv show make new episodes please
Highly recommend this show but I am disappointed that the 2 new episodes that finally did come out are just releases.. please make new ones I do luv the show!!!
Sam Harris is a bigot
Any podcast willing to host one of the most hateful and anti-Muslim public figures is not a podcast I’m looking to support. Stop interviewing idiots who just contribute to hate, like Sam Harris.
Not for me
I’m trying to listen to the first episode and I can’t get through it. The host interviewed a man and while the interview is playing she keeps talking and telling his story. It’s annoying and not for me. I just want to hear the interview.
