Love the content (5 stars), but the clicking sound is SO distracting! Please correct it.
Anthony makes The Rest is Politics US so fun with his analytical insights and juicy insider tidbits. Googled him and found this podcast. So good I’ve gone back to 2023 and listened to almost nothing else for a month now! I need maximum Mooch in my brain.
Love this podcast. Always so thoughtful and really appreciate that it is getting people to read and think about things that matter.

Loud. And takes you out of the interview. Maybe take a peek at that. Otherwise great.

The podcast is really great, but the clicking sound is very distracting and off-putting. It would be great if they could fix the issue.
