Not very nuanced. It would be nice to have guest contributors’ viewpoints and opinions challenged, or at least elaborated on. Without that, it sounds like a series of politically-biased talking points strung together for a majority of each episode.
I enjoy listening, as I learn a great deal from each episode. Thank you.
I have tried repeatedly to listen to this over the last year. After 12 months, I have only found one or two episodes that reflected centrist positions that we’re both critical and well thought out. This is a podcast for the “Woke” strategist to feel good about themselves within their own bubble of self reflection.
This show usually features interesting interviews on National security, but the guest are almost uniformly center left, with the occasional neocon. Occasionally, such as with the border crisis episode, you get straight up unchallenged leftist talking points.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
