    Why would you have this political shill on and not assertively engage with him? Beyond disappointing.

  • Yes, usually good, but…

    Tucker Carlson’s article is a good read and I think much more resonant than implied by the commentary on the accompanying podcast. You sometimes wonder whether some of the Spectator’s commentators need to get out more.

  • Outstanding journalism undermined by poor sound engineering

    The Americano and several other Spectator podcasts offer some of the best commentary around. BUT the audio engineering is consistently subpar: low overall volume and uneven levels that swing from loud to barely audible. Basic volume balancing is missing. Natasha, please do something.
