Love the podcast and the guests but wish John would talk less so the guests could add more commentary than they are currently able to.
Apple Podcasts5Devil rumUnited States17 days ago - Often not topical
John always gets good guests, but the production often seems to take 5-7 days, which means the topics discussed are often stale in our current news environment. For comparison, Hacks on Tap, where John is a rotating host, usually comes out within the same day.
If they're going to take so long, perhaps they could edit out all of John's "umms" and shave off a good 10 minutes.
Apple Podcasts3dfhawevpoadsUnited States20 days ago - Best interview on Regime Change
I’ve listened to Maggie and Jonathan on many shows promoting their new book and this was hands down the best interview. Thank you for getting an author’s perspective on their work!
Apple Podcasts5rickkwanUnited States20 days ago - Get to the point
John spends too much time setting up the question. He includes a lot of extraneous info to get there. He’s smart and a good writer, but that doesn’t translate into good radio (podcast) interviewing.
