  • One of the best podcasts

    The rotating hosts are a delight and I’m always learning something. My only gripe is that while Noah Rothman is extremely knowledgeable, he comes off as very pretentious.

  • Mississippi Reading

    I sent my three children to a very pricey and well regarded private school. My daughter, in the second grade, was struggling in a big way with reading. The school was threatening to kick her out because she was so far behind in reading. Tutors weren’t helping.

    She saw an ad on TV for “Hooked on Phonics” and asked her uncle to buy it for her Xmas. He did. She devoted hours to the program after school each day. Within a quarter, she had caught up with. The other kids. By the end of the semester,... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 824: Shutdown Wind Down
Q: So exit question to you, Audrey Falberg, Chuck Schumer, will he get elected to yet another term as New York Senator, yes or no?
I don't think so. There's this intra-party battle over generational change, and if AOC announces a challenge against him, I think he couldn't take the humiliation.
Episode 822: Poll Watching
Q: How do you see the electoral outcomes shaping up?
There's uncertainty as both parties face voter dissatisfaction, which could potentially lead to unexpected results in elections.
Episode 822: Poll Watching
Q: What do the latest polls tell us?
The polls suggest that while Donald Trump's approval is sagging, Democrats are also struggling with their image and approval ratings in general.
Episode 823: Election Disappointments
Q: So Jim Geraghty, let's start with you. Not a great election outcome for Republicans, Tuesday night...
Jim analyses the disappointing election results for Republicans, citing poor candidates and an ineffective campaign strategy.
Episode 815: Peace Prospects
Q: Are all politicians held to the same standard when it comes to legal consequences?
It's apparent that political motivations play a significant role in prosecutions, as different standards seem to apply depending on who is involved.
