That is really true. People underestimate how important news aggregator shows are. This is why originally FTN and TDS worked so well together. You had the general joking around with the news with TDS and had the more serious and focused political show with FTN.Another big factor is it's still got that headline-discussing morning zoo vibe to it. Surely it devolves once Mike starts autistically bickering at people interrupting his rants but it's one of the few shows to hear people discuss MSM without having to listen to that shit yourself. I was hoping it would become more casual since NJP is where they're trying to do their serious shit but every so often they have a great clip like shit about the Tulsa Race Riots.
I think the site could use some new blood in general. Or is the podcast ladder permabroken due to the censorship?
