- Stop with the commercials
I’ve loved and listened to Csoan got many years. I can’t get t through the podcast due to the endless commercial interruptions!
It is truly unbearable . It just ruins the listening experience.
One or two are doable- that has not been the case of late and it’s disappointing.

Podcast Addict57 months agoBe Not Afraid- Letting liars lie
Corey Brettschneider lied when he said Richard Nixon ordered the Watergate break-in. You let him lie. C-SPAN should know better.
Apple Podcasts2TextdghUnited Statesa year ago - Booknotes in the lead
I listen to many of the C-SPAN podcasts and I enjoy them, but Booknotes is my favorite. I especially like the tilt towards history. Many of the topics are interesting, but particularly useful to have historical perspective when we’re going through such turbulent times.
Apple Podcasts5LlallallUnited Statesa year ago - Dwight Chapin…”The President’s Man”
Excellent interview with Dwight Chapin. We need stories of this caliber especially regarding Watergate.
Bring Dwight back for a part two interview. I was in high school during this Watergate episode and I am more convinced that Dwight Chapin had no business going to jail. Hello, John Dean are you listening!
