New cohost ruins, once great show.

When Molly Jong fast cohosted the show she created, it was a regular part of my podcast schedule. However, her replacement, a very, very angry, young woman, named Danielle, has substituted mollies, mostly stayed, thoughtful, opinions for loud, profane rants, and outright primal screaming sessions has made this completely unlistenable. I gave two stars, cause I still agree with the basic politics, but screaming obscenities is not I choose to engage in politics.

Ruined by the Replacement for Molly Jong Fast

Once a fun & intelligent show, this has turned into an obscenity filled rant dominated by the relentlessly abrasive voice of Danielle, who never had an idea that didn’t start with an F-bomb. I feel sorry for the other people on the show.
