Best in-depth coverage of any topic Jay! covers. Excellent work. Highly recommended
Saves me a lot of work, reading a dozen other publications or social media, excellent compilations, ...focus on a topic, issue & theme; always referenced source materials; Grand to walk & listen to podcasts & then get home with some "To-Do" action items. Nice also for "call-in" messages & easy Patreon & low budget subscription & extra stuff as subscriber. Indeed, the "Best" of the Left & critical thinkers. Mehr anzeigen
I've been listening to this podcast for quite a while now. I love how it gives multiple perspectives... on an issue and encourages listeners with all different points of view to contribute to the dialog. Conservative or progressive, I highly recommend this podcast! Mehr anzeigen
