What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m a Truck Driver that drives anywhere from 500-650 miles a day mostly (9-11 hours) and sometimes I don’t want to listen to something 1 hour long. It actually helps to have podcasts shorter than 15 minutes to shift your attention and thoughts around every once in a while. Sometimes I just spam these PragerU videos along with some other short ones I’ve found. Awesome Podcast, one of the best. Thank you.
