Lever Time - Podcast Rankings and reviews

You folks owe your listeners an apology for record this episode while having that smoke detector chirp in the background. None of y’all had a 9V? Seriously, I’m walking all over my house trying to find out what smoke detector needs a new battery to make it stop beeping. It was only after I didn’t hear it for an hour after the podcast ended I even for a second thought well… maybe it was the podcast. That’s so unprofessional that I had to double check before writing this review. If you’re handing in an audio project for high school, it’s unacceptable to have an audio issue like that in your project. I think that rule goes double when you earn advertising revenue from your audio project. Other than that great show, four stars! I’m willing to bump it to five if the next episode you folks apologize and promise you’ll never do that again. Also, thanks for what you do!

Well done news commentary and deep dive into the topics presented. Excellent production and smart writing that is honest and self-aware.

This is real journalism in an age where that is such a rarity. How can a society elect responsive politicians and hold government accountable without the knowledge and understanding that journalism with integrity provides? This is the real deal! I highly recommend it.

I'll admit as a long time listener of the show, I would wonder each week why the coverage of the war on Gaza was so sparse. This attempt to both sides the issue despite the context of the history of oppression or the current unprecedented scale of mass murder being perpetrated against the civilians of Gaza has certainly been enlightening. I am neither Jewish nor Muslim, but as a black American I am familiar with systems of oppression and how these conversations are often framed so that the oppressed are required to justify or defend actions they take against their oppressors. Over 7000 dead children, but we certainly should be more focused on the semantics of using the term genocide to describe their deaths than the actual deaths themselves.
