This podcast is advertised as a means to find consensus between consevative and progressive thinking in politics. That’s very well and good but be aware that the conservative party of this pod may not be as interested in that idea as you think. Rio’s twitter presence is completely different from the general attitude he promotes when he knows he’s being recorded on during his podcast. His friend Corey may very well be the only person he will humor as far as any kind of dissent toward his die-hard pro-yang NeverTrump approach to conservatism. Rio’s twitter attitude toward anything even remotely resembling questioning the democratic establishment will get you immediately shamed and blocked. This isn’t an outlet to sincerely finding a middle-ground of political discourse betweeen anything resembling a liberal attitude. It’s an echo-chamber of Rio’s very narrow laned new-age conservatism that shuns any kind of broad-tent debate. Of course unless it’s under the comforts of his good friend Corey, which will always be the only safe space which he’ll be open to talk “consensus”. My advice is take a good look at Rio’s twitter feed to really see how he stands on this so called “finding the middle ground” as this pod has been advertised as before immediately hitting that subscribe button.
