Jesus do I actually have to watch the Flagrant podcast now?

No need to force yourself.

It is your choice to listen to their podcast or not.

I thought they did a really good job.

Bernie Sanders only does softball interviews, so this one was a surprise when they pushed him a little bit.

They've been pretty enjoyable. I definitely wrongly thought they were more obtuse than they are.

Awesome!

It is always a wonderful experience when our expectations are challenged, much more when when it is a positive.
