  • Great pod with Rev Jim Wallis.

    He spoke so eloquently and hit the nail on the head. Thank you for having him on. My husband and I listened twice through the mention of his first day in South Africa with Bishop Desmond Tutu. We found some calm to ground us through a corrupt, authoritarian regime. Thanks again, always an interesting, thoughtful discussion.

  • Stunning

    The review you had with the clinical psychologist about Trump was riveting! I always enjoy your podcast but this one was jaw dropping. I can’t thank you enough for bringing this information to light. I have not yet heard any mention of this topic in the mainstream media. Thank you again!
