I watch these two every night and the podcast is a wonderful supplement to their respective news shows and their little bits of banter in between. I love their friendship, their interactive dynamics, their honesty and common sense, and their ability to address the myriad facets of issues they discuss. It doesn't hurt that I generally agree with most of their opinions and ideas. At the same time, they stimulate my mind, open me up to things I hadn't previously considered and I feel that I have grown and learned from the experience. Plus they're funny as hell and would love to just hang out with them, talking about everything and nothing. I bet it would be a blast!

Don & Chris made the greatest team on CNN and all of the news channels combined. I loved watching Chris news show daily and look forward to their handoff each night. The politics of that lead to the cancellation of his show on CNN is ridiculous; so many anchors and politicians have gotten away with so much more. Chris straight forward no nonsense reporting is very much missed and a definite loss for CNN. I look forward to seeing him resurface on another channel with his own show again. Meanwhile, Don continues to hold down the fort and reports the truth. I really do miss seeing them interact together on television and on this podcast.

Great Team! I miss them already!
