Rick knows his stuff! He is able to break down complexities into bite sized chunks, his interviews are alway great and I always feel a bit more hope when listening. Awesome!

milesfunk · May 2026

Longtime listener, first-time reviewer. I’ve been a listener from the jump. Always bracing, sometimes with necessary hard truths. The insights and burns never get old.

Mr Trail Safety · Dec 2024

I listen to every episode. One of the best podcasts for realtime updates and knowledge about the political landscape.

Polly Purebred · Dec 2024

I just listened to the latest episode, in which Rick advises us, “Don’t drink their poison,” and addresses “The Elephant in the Room,” AKA the demoralizing message from the Trump camp. I didn’t realize I needed to attend a pep rally, but I did. Thank you, Rick, for creating one.
