Been listening for years. For context, I’m an immigrant, millennial female. I landed here almost 2 decades ago and I was extremely liberal. As I’ve lived and learned more about life, politics, and economics, I still identify as a social liberal, now a fiscal moderate. With that said, this show has nothing to do with how I “feel”. I’ve developed into a fortune exec and this podcast is facts, facts, facts. It’s so easy to assume the hosts lean one way, but that’s not realistic. My partner is far less liberal (if at all) than I am and he trusts this podcast, also.
They unpack news. They don’t inject their perspectives. This is so much better than any mainstream media outlet. And I can figure out what’s up while I’m taking my morning shower.
(Also, they introduced me to Boll and Branch bedding and though I never would have considered spending this much on sheets, I have never slept better…)
They make it fun. Their singing is objectively awful (so endearing). I don’t have or want kids, and they’re both very into theirs. It’s a little irksome for us dinks, but also sweet and makes them relatable. I won’t switch news sources unless someone offers me something much better. And I haven’t found any way to get all the perspectives in a more time-efficient, approachable way.
