Ben Nielsen

the older gent said he didn't agree with single payer because he is not responsible for "them" then goes on to draw the line at citizenship, which single payer is about paying for healthcare for citizens. fox news and conservative media has eliminated critical thinking and made a large portion of the populace subservient to their agenda.

Thank you for this episode. I am terrified of not being allowed into Israel to get to the West Bank for the sole fact that my husband was born in the West Bank. Please continue to bring light to the occupation!

ive not been listening for a long time, but have really enjoyed the episodes ive heard. The one that i remember most was about you hitch-hiking across the country to NPR offices with your backpack full of cassettes to become a radio producer. I wanted to let you know that i enjoyed the podcast. Thank you !

This is so hard to listen to, not just because the opinion is dramatically over the top for anyone who understands sociology, psychology or politics, but his monotone voice lacks so much emotion I'm wondering if Utah finally legalized marijuana.
