Yurihood ,

Love this show!

Coming from the ‘hood I love to hear the explanations of how politics and politicians work. Today though I heard Prop shout out Art Leboe. I miss Art and loved the shout out! Love the show and how you break it down. Being a guero and hearing it from another perspective is awesome!

Really like this podcast. Great insight. A new viewpoint for me.

Just found this and have started listening. The host is super interesting, really intelligent, super insightful.

The only feedback is the number of times the host says “You know what I’m sayin’?” Hope he is able to develop his hosting abilities, not having to rely on this catchphrase. He has so much to say, hate this tic to take away from his message more people should hear.

Good for all of us

Hey - long time listener, first time reviewer. Thank you for taking the time to put out this show and speaking your truth from the heart. I’ve learned both about city living as well as political reality through the expertly filtered lived experience of host Prop. It’s nuts to learn that humans are humans no matter what level they operate on. Neighborhoods or countries. It’s all the same. As is the tagline - these people are not smarter than you. To paraphrase: they just wear fancier suits. *Well* worth your time. Can not recommend enough.
