United States5 years ago - The second season was terrible
The first season was interesting and the hosts were only slightly biased during that season. They also had a good mix of varying perspectives during it and most of the episodes focused on different aspects of running for office.
However, the hosts became so biased during the second season that they weren't even trying to appear neutral anymore, and the second season was also a lot less interesting, especially the special episodes that were about specific policies.

Quality reporting that never shies away from the tough questions and asks their guests to do some real soul searching. I really hope they bring it back; my favorite podcast.
