Great work, wish they came out with more content

I would recommend this to anyone stuck in traffic on the news in OC. They go into topics that i didn't know needed to be discussed. I just wish they came out more often so that i could have more to listen to!

Outstanding

This is the kind of serious political reporting that OC residents need to be listening to while sitting on the 405!
