    Ivy Insights

    The Triggered podcast, hosted by Matt and Storm, offers a refreshing and irreverent take on the news and politics. As faithful listeners, my wife and I thoroughly enjoy their humorous approach to discussing current events. The addition of extra content on platforms like Townhall, Red State, PJ, and Twitchy has made joining their VIP program well worth it. We recently listened to episode 407 with Colonel Kurt and found ourselves laughing throughout the entire episode.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to inject humor into what can often feel like a black abyss of news and politics. Matt and Storm manage to find levity in the current economic situation facing America, making it more bearable to digest. Their analysis is always informative and insightful, but it's their ability to make us laugh that sets them apart from other podcasts.

    While we thoroughly enjoy this podcast overall, there are a few minor drawbacks. Some listeners have pointed out that they bleep out their own cussing, which can be a bit confusing. It would be better if they either refrained from swearing altogether or didn't censor themselves. However, this doesn't detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of the show.

    In conclusion, The Triggered podcast is an absolute favorite of ours. Matt and Storm consistently deliver unedited truth and facts about current news while infusing humor into their discussions. It's comforting to know that we're not alone in navigating this crazy world. The show provides a much-needed alternative perspective to counterbalance the mainstream media narrative. We eagerly anticipate each new episode as they continue to speak truth and shed light on important issues facing our country. Keep up the excellent work!
