  • Great show, ruined with sound board

    Great podcast, good topics and hosts, a perfect balance of serious and fun. Only complaint is the sound effects can be jarring. I typically listen to podcasts before bed and the blaring alarm noises come with little warning.

  • Government can be fun?

    Love the podcast, it breaks down local government and personalizes the people who serve the city. Informative, isn’t just a PR scheme as it asks hardball questions, and the hosts even make government sound fun!
