An insane amount of advertising on this pod. Like multiple minutes every time and 5 ad breaks each episode. That’s like 15 min lost every episode. I find this ridiculous. I listen and LOVE this pod!! but with my hands busy and often messy (I’m a chef) it’s frustrating to have to stop and skip forward on the ads. I would just listen to them if they took up a minute at a time, but it’s 4 minutes every time. Ugh!!

I found this podcast through Katie Couric Media, when Katie shared that she’d be guest hosting an episode. I enjoyed the episode & learned a lot so I’ve been a subscriber ever since. A few weeks ago, during an episode talking about the election & concerns of what’s coming next, a comment was made about rural states that keep voting “red.” Then Arkansas was specifically mentioned & one of the host said something along the lines of “who’d want to live in Arkansas anyway.” It was very disheartening to hear this. Guess what—I’m a true blue liberal Democrat and I live in Arkansas. My family is here, my job is here, my friends are here, and my retirement investment is here. So, I can’t just pick up and move to a “blue” state. Instead, I’ve got to stay here and find ways to hope to one day get our Democratic majority back & find ways to try to make voters realize whose policies actually work for them. It’s absolutely hard here. But when that comment was made on the podcast, it totally opened my eyes to what others have been saying—when the so-called liberal elite treat rural states and voters in a disparaging manner, it turns people off. So my request today is that the hosts be aware of their one-off comments and know that even people from a state like Arkansas are here, are trying to support progressive candidates and legislation, and we are not all a bunch of hicks. Thanks for letting me share and I do sincerely like the podcast and appreciate your work.

Thank you for connecting the dots and articulating the causes of so many dumpster fires in our country. You make it possible to stay informed, keep my sanity, and laugh a bit.

Absolutely my top pod, can’t wait to listen every week! Smart petty sassy takes to keep me informed, love it all!!

I enjoy listening to podcasts from both sides of politics, but I want those people to be open minded and not closed off to differing perspectives. Their episode “should we unfriend trump voters” prove they lack the open-mindedness they claim to promote, as it framed the discussion in a way that dismissed differing perspectives rather than fostering meaningful dialogue.

I have religiously listened to Hysteria. I find it to be a great take on the news of the week. However, the lack of understanding of what happened/is happening in WNC is astounding. As a resident of the area it felt very dismissive to say that there is nothing that compares to a wildfire. As someone who has lived in major cities my whole life I know get why people in less urban areas feel left behind.
