Customer Reviews
Meh
Sometimes this podcast lapses into whiny liberal finger pointing. Also, they occasionally make comments/opinions regarding areas where they lack expertise (eg medicine, medical ethics) which is suboptimal. I really enjoy Kenji the most.
hmm
I cannot listen to this actually. It is so stuffy and uppity. What this podcast needs is an actual human being with common sense and without a law degree. And what I really mean by that, is a Dan Savage type to breathe some life and reality into these responses, while talking circles around all these big fat degrees.
Sorry that it's over
Not sure why this podcast ended but I thought it was interesting. I liked comparing my thoughts on the topics to what the panelists might say. Perhaps the topics could have been more interesting but I still looked forward to each week.
