Im hearing true authenticity when Michael expresses his mission. His guests are people I would never had learned about. Today Im so intentional with what I allow into my head space and with this one that means listening about inconvenient experiences and observations. I wouldn’t change it! Im grateful for this courageous and committed channel.
Mike brings in excellent guests and lets them talk. He doesn’t cut them off all the time or make the podcast all about himself, which is refreshing. This is one of the main podcasts I listen to in order to keep up with what is really happening in the world.
A great podcast except when he ventures into the area of nutrition. I have no problem with his advocacy for eating meat but he totally misrepresents the vegan diet by making the misguided assumption that vegans are all eating fake meat. All of the problems he associates with a plant based diet can be completely avoided for most people by eating real food - fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, legumes, nuts and seeds and whole grains. When he sticks to politics, culture, social issues, etc. this is a very entertaining podcast.
The widely shared Ed Dowd interview is how I found this great podcast. I immediately listened to other episodes. Lots of great interviews with notable people. It’s interesting that the ratings are overwhelming 5 stars. The very few that aren’t 5’s are 1’s or 2’s. Mike is over the target!
The show used to be good, now it’s full of name dropping and remarks of life in Phoenix. The host lost his way in reporting, now it seems like he is trying to catch interest in the work. Show is on its death spiral, host constantly interrupts the guests. The host talks like an authority, he is only armchair knowledge.
