Former FBI Deputy Director, Dan Bongino, returned to his podcast today. My feelings are mixed about his first show back. If we were in grade school, I would give Mr. Bongino at C- grade. He did not seem well-prepared nor did he discuss any substantive issues. Bongino restated statistics that he and Kash Patel have already shared with the public. Also, he did a good amount of ad reads. Even a call from POTUS could not completely save this one. Overall, I felt it was a lackluster return for a show of his past stature, and I can only hope Bongino gets his podcasting mojo back.

Channel Approach: The world does not have to suck, but there are some things we should talk about without hating each other or purposely seeking conflict. Things such as current events, standing social issues, and areas of lingering concern that are of interest to many people. Are you tired of "overly-scripted", highly "curated", and "conflict-based" content that has become the norm? Are you exhausted with content that looks like contrived takeoffs of the failed mainstream media? I am. So, I hope you will forgive me for a less generic, over-produced approach where ideas can be shared in a more informal fashion about what is going on for the ordinary people of the world. For the sake of real talk, minor recording mistakes will be included in this content.
