Simply the best
Not a better podcast for politics! I love the fun back-and-forth, the guests, and the show as a whole. Great to relax and listen to.
Best Road Trip Podcast Ever!
Thank you so much for remembering where you came from and recognizing the great statesmen like Senators Drummond. (Yay 96), Lourie, Geise, Setzler and Land. They were true gentlemen. I appreciate the fact that you both are respectful no matter the political party! Would love to hear an episode or series on the great statehouse sting! (Hope I didn’t miss it if you already have it:-) I was a page and remember just waiting on the newspaper to see who was indicted.
Thanks again for the great interviews and episodes! Cheers to many more!
