Customer Reviews
I enjoy the show
It is nice to get a different political perspective from a podcast that is dedicated (mostly) to veterans’ issues. So many military podcasts are politically conservative. Your podcast keeps my mind in balance . Thanks for all you do!
Room to improve
Let me admit right from the start: I’m not from New York. I was drawn to the podcast because of the hosts involvements with veterans issues on a larger scale and was hoping for a non “vet-bro” perspective on what’s happening in our world today. I enjoy the content 75% of the time and would appreciate a little more quality editing and preparation. Liberal perspective most of the time, which is fine, but could do without the “anti-VA” undertones. Will continue to listen and support!
