  • Stop the baby ad!

    Will stop listening if I have to start a podcast with a crying annoying baby.

    Done with this show! Cannot stand the Legal Zoom baby ad. Good grief. I’ll come back to listening when that’s stopped.

  • Corporations vs People

    It's clear from the cowering, bought and paid for coverage where CNN stands. It's going to be really hard for the country not to dissolve into chaos if journalists won't start telling the unvarnished truth.

  • Really?!? 2 ads?

    Why do you feel the need to place 2 ads in this short podcast? 1st story, then an ad - I’ve stopped listening for this reason alone.

  • Baby ad is unacceptable

    I will not use policy genius out of spite for their awful add. CNN, shame on you for making us suffer through the add for so darn long. The ad is exhausting.
