“I like your show, but I am going to have to stop listening if Cerebral is a sponsor : have you really looked at who they are?
Under multiple investigations ( rightfully) because they prescribe irresponsibly and have shoddy professional standards .”

“I recognize your brilliance as a writer-comedian but, frankly, you are a second-rate politician and are definitely not a statesman. I long for signs that you actually learn something from your politically and otherwise expert interviewees. E.g. today PKrugman's most telling message was...”Read full review »

“Paul Krugman can explain debt ceiling issues and taxes to where even I can understand. And you’re questions were spot on too.

“Hello I really enjoy your podcast and it is interesting and provocative with great guests. My only complaint is the repetitious lame joke on every podcast that this is really good….for a change. This is not funny and is boorish and insulting much akin to some of the old David Letterman repetitive...”Read full review »

“Before the whole ridiculous resignation from the US Senate for doing absolutely nothing, Al continues his faux populist, neoliberal crusade here. He's very clear... our politicians are funded and bought by corporations and he thinks you'll never notice that everything else is theater!...”Read full review »

“Canadian fan here, it was very relieving to hear your guest Steve Schmidt lay out clearly the challenges around racial divides in the US (we have that here too). Please continue to just break it down. Love the show. Love the episodes with Dahlia. Sometimes the show is funny. Occasionally.”

“The answer is simple - you elected a black man. No one wants to talk about this - why is that? You are a RACIST country, white elites will not accept that they are ALL immigrants, under the very misguided illusion that they were the only colour (white) that built the country when in fact it was...”Read full review »

“Al,
One idea I had, leasing to this podcast, to possible solve this issue and possible others is to establish term limits to the house and the senate.
For example I will propose 3-4 terms for the house. Since the serve or get re-elected every two years. Senate should be two terms since they...”Read full review »

“It feels like it’s the same topic every week: how did the Republican Party become what it is today and how long they’ve been scheming. We all know by now. Talk about what we can DO about it.
Also, Al needs new jokes and stories instead of telling the same ones over and over again.”

Excellent explaining!
Chief Justice John G Roberts Jr Supreme Court is simply CORRUPT!
