- Unique & thoughtful, but
Your book review series of authors interviews is well done and varied for someone with your background. I listen to many of them. However, the VERY BEST podcasts are your personal Q&A’s. You skipped August. I really hope they aren’t going away.

Apple Podcasts3daddyofgirlsUnited States3 months ago - Love Anthony!
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.
Apple Podcasts5Lovinglifeat63United States4 months ago - Love the podcast- fix the glitches and noises
Love this podcast. Always so thoughtful and really appreciate that it is getting people to read and think about things that matter.
There’s a noise-like a camera shutter, every few minutes on the apple pod. Not sure about other formats. It’s startling. Literally every few minutes.
Loud. And takes you out of the interview. Maybe take a peek at that. Otherwise great.
