  • Technical problems decent content

    This podcast never plays in Apple Podcast when released. It play on other platforms on which I listen to podcasts. That’s the main knock.

    Minor knock is many of these are with same think tank or compatriot think tank chums. While I agree with discussions and points made this seems like the kind of interviews Kamala Harris has had in 2024. Nothing challenges the assumptions of Kevin’s employer for this podcast.
