Les mer Before You Speak

Two guys. One fire hose of current events. On this podcast, Derek, a real estate agent, former personal trainer, and music-industry veteran teams up with Elwyn, a self-described “recovering lawyer” and gym owner, to make sense of the news without the noise. We dive into politics and culture from different angles but we share the same goal: honest conversation, real curiosity, and trying to understand the world one headline at a time.
