  • Love Andrew

    Love this podcast — I have listened to and read Andrew for years. Brilliant, with much heart. And I’m a former democrat, a flinty yankee centrist. Ease up with the arguing though — gets to be too strident

    Enjoy this podcast but Andrew talks way too much. I wish he would listen to his guests and not interrupt them so much and allow them to talk more.
