Reviews

3.9 out of 5 stars from 276 ratings
  • Essential local resource

    Many of the poor ratings are people that are simply upset that the cleveland.com crew correctly calls out the wrongdoings and hypocrisies of our state government. It's not the most entertaining podcast but a good source of local information when their articles are otherwise behind a paywall.
