  • Keep a Pulse on Developing Policy

    This is a great show that offers great discussion of contemporary issues. I love the broad round tables and hearing select snippets of well written and often humorous talks that expertly address issues and policy from many nuanced standpoints.

    Highly recommend for folks seeking to challenge themselves in their world view or, excited about community and individual alternatives to state bureaucracy.

  • Good When It Works

    I have been a subscriber for 3 months and the 1st month was the only episode which had working audio. 2nd month was an hour of silence and now this month will not stream from the store due to technical difficulties. Come on Cato, the daily one works well!
