Crosscut has lurched so far left, it’s both predictable and dull. The podcast on Trump’s hold on Evangelicals is a huge topic but much of the commentary was lefty screeds. So disappointing.
This is the podcast I didn’t know I needed to be listening to. The production quality is on par with WNYC’s On the Media. The comfortable interview dynamic allows for people who are truly experts in their fields to share nuanced and personal insights about the most important news happening now. It’s also the perfect length, 45 minutes, just right for a covid walk.
Very informative and thought provoking
I was looking for a political podcast that gave me context and insight, without being sensational or biased, and found Crosscut Talks. Great interviews with all sorts of leaders!
Thoughtful local content. Much appreciated.
