    Finally. In a glut of bloviation, we find a podcast where the host asks precise and thought-generating questions instead of using a guest as grist for aimless ranting. The host actually serves his guests and audience! Such a tonic right now. Please keep it up.

  • This is a great show

    Been listening for a minute but the Krystal Ball interview was great and I felt compelled to write a review. The only political discourse that makes sense to me these days is this show.
