Finally, news shared honestly and with fun honest humor. This takes me back to the good ole days when Jon Stewart was on Comedy Central. Now he’s back, on a podcast, and he’s able to be more of himself to explain and asks questions regarding the politics and the news.

This podcast format is my favorite. An interesting conversation with intelligent people about crucial issues. And somehow the humor sprinkled through makes it easier to process.

Interesting view of current events

The manner in which I can review pertinent news in a non "the sky is falling" and non promotional and opinionated way. They at least speak of the times they jest.

PS I couldn't find how to submit feedback, so just an idea.... Have Harris choose Pence or other honorable conservative for VP. Let's put our money where our mouth is and show unity, discussion, and find commonality as a basis to move forward.

Fair and balanced - for real!

I deeply respect Jon Stewart. He helped me laugh through my tears when George W got elected. He showed up and stayed there after 911. He gave me the courage to call into the Sean Hannity show about a flat tax (I was not allowed to ask that question and had to pivot to the environment and he kicked my ass in that conversation). I attended his Rally to Restore Sanity. Stephen Colbert's fictitious team insanity just got real.

Thank you for the impact you make and I hope you haven't stroked out yet. You've been helping us all cope for a long time. Please keep fighting the good fight, helping us all laugh when things suck, and ALWAYS being more informative on facts than most news shows..
