Seriously, Nate
Nate, as a long-time reader and listener, I really think you need to find a new co-host. I abhor Trump, and I suspect that I’m further to the left than you are on many issues.

Maria was incredibly reductionist and intellectually immature. Too many more episodes like that, and she’s going to end up bringing you down. Frankly, she’s not that interesting or insightful on other topics to begin with.

I will try to listen again after the election. I think both Maria and Nate provide an excellent example of people...Read full review »
