Yes

I loved the anthology and was sad when I was done reading. This podcast allows me to get a weekly daily dose. Love love love.

Armadillo Dude ,

Pseudo-intellectual

The content isn’t that wholesome or compelling. They talk about serious issues and hit on some points but equally hit on points that edge on identity politics conspiracy theories and unimportant topics.

Feminomaly ,

Can't recommend enough

This is the podcast I've been waiting for to help me make sense of and better frame the current state of affairs in the US after Trump's questionably legitimate election. Thank you so much to the hosts for creating it and to all of the amazing and thoughtful guests who bring their unique viewpoints to the show.
