Mary is so smart and insightful, and it seems one of the only people who can cut through the daily distractions to report objectively on the President. I love this short, incisive show!

This podcast has made me feel so validated every day. Mary is intelligent, witty and is spot on. She’s able to make you laugh about the world insanity of the president and his followers.

Hi, I’m a Berklee student studying Recording and Production. I love your show and I wanted to leave some feedback on the sound mix- I think it could use some compression. For some of the episodes, there’s really high audio peaks that have made me turn it down because there’s no steady balance of audio, it feels like a lot of peaks and valleys. I think the message would be more impactful with a steady audio level.
