Customer Reviews
Really enjoy this podcast.
I’m so thankful for finding this podcast. I really learn and enjoy exploring the different topics that are so important today. For years , I considered myself a news junkie somewhat. But as internet , cable tv and radio options grew, I felt that many of my news sources were forced to compete for ratings. I limit my news options and have discovered many informative podcasts. I have found that I enjoy more in-depth conversations and guests who are very informed on the various topics. It doesn’t matter if I agree or disagree, I’m trying to understand and learn and I don’t find that as easy anymore with the extreme voices who get the microphone more than people who are sensible. I really love the poem in the beginning and enjoy hearing about its meaning. The hosts set a great tone and invite great conversation through their comments and questions. I’m very worried about 2024. And that makes me sad to think about.
Love Jeremi's insights
Jeremy is always insightful and I love to hear his perspective on issues.
