“No idea who co-host Kavita is but she takes FOREVER to say something. I find female (which I am one) speakers on podcasts, etc. tend to speak much more hesitantly and under-confidently than their male cohorts. It’s a societal thing, of course. But, women, we won’t change things until we change...”Read full review »

“Excellent episode as usual. very moving comment about Russia targeting Ukrainian civilians and the world just shrugging. Where is the leadership and humanity gone?? But has Katie nicely wrapped up, these discussions do make you feel less alone and something good just has to happen, doesn’t it?!...”Read full review »

“I used to listen to you regularly and took a break after 10/7. I wanted to hear what you had to say about the protests in your 4/26 episode and I’m shocked at your lack of research. JEWISH students at Columbia were invited to do zoom classes because the school wouldn’t guarantee their safety....”Read full review »

“In 3/27 episode, Kavita seems to refer to hydroxychloroquine when she probably meant ivermectin (equine wormer).”

“WM has consistently tracked core political themes based on current events. However as an early leader I think they’ve fallen to the middle of the pack in terms of content. Some shows feel more like complaining than analyzing. I keep listening but its more out of hope they'll find their footing.”Read full review »

Also the female that is teaching a class is always knowing no facts at all again just repeating what ever propaganda she hears on TV and is always wrong. It will be no government shut down...”Read full review »

Instead, she hops around, makes asides and clarifications, and switches subjects…all in one sentence! Who...”Read full review »
