I normally like your take on many topics but I really wished you would've did your research as to why it was so significant for the red wave not to have happened.

The way Van talks about poly life is ignorant. You are misinformed and sound insensitive with your jokes.. I don't know... There's room for "learning" about a lifestyle YOU don't understand. Cheers tho. Love the pod.

This interview is so difficult to sit through while this man keeps telling me how I should feel about new information that comes forward. There's still no excess for that Karen weaponizing the color of someone's skin against them.
