“I used to enjoy this podcast but it seems to be implicitly pushing some sort of politically correct agenda. No longer presents objective facts.

My favorite series is My Perfect Country, which selects a different country every episode for an examination of a notable policy that improves its citizens lives in some way. I hope...”Read full review »
