  • Trenchant Political Analysis

    David Waldman helms one of the most trenchant political analysis show in the podcast game. With the help of Greg Dworkin and Joan McCarter, David does a deep dive into the latest political squaring off in Congress, the shenanigans going on at local school board meetings or the scourge of gun violence in America. You never know what will pique David’s interest, but he’ll make it informative and relatable. While he doesn’t has the best tr*mp impression, I laugh each time David parrots him. So if y... more

  • Waldman is as steady as they come

    I’ve loved this show since 2015. David Waldman is highly underrated: his dry sense of humor and impressions as he points out moments of hypocrisy has had me cracking up more times than I can count. Love the articles and the takes, and enjoy the bit of political sanity in an increasingly insane world. Joan is a great guest; wish he would start having Armando on again regularly.

    With that said, I don’t necessarily get the almost over-the-top love for Greg Dworkin in some review circles. He seems... more

    I have been listening to this podcast for many years. What I love about it is, unlike so many sources of news, gives an interesting review of the news without completely activating my sympathetic nervous system. I think Greg’s background talking to the parents of kids who can’t breath ( pediatric pulmonologist)particularly qualified him to speak about politics during the Trump Administration. Greg and David are smart and well informed. They also, with their humor and reports about dogs barking a... more
