  • A missed opportunity

    I heard about the podcast on another site and gave it a try with one of the episodes. The episode included a segment about Tesla vandalism. The hosts were not well versed on the scope of these attacks and could not bring themselves to fully condemn the attacks and spent most of the time giving reasons that it was the victims fault for buying a Tesla. These are local neighbors that are being attacked. Shameful. The progressive spin was very strong and really should be left to shows that are not i... more

  • Propaganda

    I appreciate getting local news. But it’s all fed through the leftist agenda, and opinions are presented as facts. It does inform me on what and who to not vote for, so for that I’ll keep listening.

  • A Californian who wishes he could afford to move to Idaho right now

    A left leaning to Liberal host, with Liberal guests. True insight to see how the “Boise metropolitan area” is turning purple. And how a state who’s vibrantly red, becomes purple and eventually blue. Listen to the show, you’ll see how it happens. This is the situation most of us “rural” Californians are in, completely outnumbered by the city people so our vote doesn’t matter, especially on the national stage. I really hope the people who live there understand this and vote in their local electi... more
