  • One sided

    A one-sided argument isn’t analysis. There are plenty of serious podcasts that inform and illuminate, at the moment, this isn’t one of them.

  • Maybe Add a Cohost

    The content is good, and Bonnie Lin is a credible expert. She does sound like she’s reading from prepared notes a bit, but I still tune in to every episode for her insightful questioning of quality guests. A cohost would raise this podcast to a higher level.
