- Sounds great, but content stinks.
Deluded, out-of-touch libs consider themselves "left," but they’re just another voice for the obsolete, shady Dems. it’s sad & infuriating. Don’t waste your time.

When the other podcasts on political news you listen to get you down and depressed, this one can deliver the news with wit, insight, humor, satire, and cussing. I love it. Driftglass and Blue Gal take the long view, with historical references up to the latest triumphs and tragedies of our existence. Bravo to this duo! And thanks.
