Customer Reviews
Def binge-worthy!
Discovered this show last year. Went looking for passionate, irreverent take on current events through a secular lens. FOUND IT! Went back to season 1 to catch up. So strange to hear your riffs on the 2016 nonsense knowing what we all know now. It all ages well, and very engaging. Cheers!
Excellent weekly wrap up
Ray’s moderating, Karen’s level headedness, Jarod’s wild outbursts, and Ian’s outrage bring a lot of perspective to news spanning religion and politics that I look forward to every week with glee.
Y’all rock!
I love your show!
