Customer Reviews
Info straight from the agency
This podcast gives listeners the opportunity to hear the information without it having gone through the any media filters.
Informative, consice, and interesting
Great peek into the checks and balances the governement is trying to employ. I feel bad for the GAO though, 'cause every episode seems to be, "We told they were doing this, this, and this wrong, and they still haven't fixed it."
Well produced, and totally worth subscribing to.
The Bird
