Love this podcast

I try to listen to you guys every week. You are funny and keep me informed about what is going on in Alabama. I also read your columns Thanks guys for making my Fridays entertaining and informative. Even though Josh is a tiger fan. Sorry I’m not a fan of the Tide either or football in general. Seriously, I think our country is in trouble. You guys make me feel optimistic that there are still good people in the US who are not members of a cult. I’m too old to move to another country

It’s Required Listening for Alabama Politicos

No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, Josh and David do a good job of hitting the weekly highlights and headlines while also digging deeper during the interview segments of the show. Our state has way too many outlets that simply parrot right wing talking points gathered from either the national media or the state GOP itself. Josh and David bring a critical approach and have enough history in Alabama to move beyond the spin of the moment. They have been especially trenchant lately in looking at the issues that continue to disable the Alabama Democratic Party. Informative and fun.
