i really enjoied the first episode of this podcast. it was a funny, refreshing means of recapping the top stories in usa politics for the week. i reccommend!
Episode 1…Yes more please
Always love fresh commentaries and perspectives on contemporary issues. Looking forward to listening to episode 2…!
Politically Entertaining!
Funny, insightful, with plenty of snark (much like politics). As far as political discussions go, the two hosts really know their stuff, and don't talk over the listener's head.
