Listener Reviews

That’s Life I Swear, Rick Barron’s podcast
I have been enjoying Rick Barron‘s podcasts for over a year now. I love the way he puts together big and small events from the news and life.Rick has caught my interest in topics I knew nothing about and I come away with some questions and curiosity. It feels like a conversation, not a condemnation, nor is he stuck in a silo of right or left wing views. His perspective is often a fair reflection of the complications, kind of, life is messy not so simple.I appreciate hearing Rick’s take on on a whole range of topics from serious stuff to really good news stories. I appreciate his take on current news headlines because he brings a clearer focus on what implications arise upon taking a closer look. I’m looking forward to more. Bravo Rick!
