Engaging daily
 Nov 10, 2023
Interesting interviews with often great questions. I regularly disagree with an element--or all of--his daily opinions, but his spiels are well-crafted, thoughtful, and sometimes even persuasive.

after Slate and still a shill
 Feb 17, 2022
moments of being funny & I had hopes for him having an original opinion once he went out on his own... but holy sheet he has doubled down on the Republicrat corporate narrative,he can't possibly be sincere with the crap he spouts..painful

Pesca, the glib mouthpiece
 Feb 12, 2022
unquestioning obedience to the corporate consensus narrative has never been so much fun !

glad he's back
 Feb 4, 2022
I like it, glad he's back.

Patch
 Jul 3, 2020
Consistently good show with consistently surprising content. Mike really knows his stuff. Highly recommended.

Description

For thirty minutes each day, Pesca challenges himself and his audience, in a responsibly provocative style, and gets beyond the rigidity and dogma. The Gist is surprising, reasonable, and willing to critique the left, the right, either party, or any idea.
