  • Daily uploads and more Duane

    Please upload the show each day. I love the show but end up playing catchup with old news.

    I agree with others that Duane should be the only guest host.

  • More Duane Plz

    Love the show. Need to release shows on a more consistent basis. Keep the weekend pod, make sure you’ve got one on Tuesday or Wednesday morning at the latest, and fill the gaps with DUANE! That format costs you nothing. Also, Duane should be the all-time backup QB here. Never ask Mark Davis or Schlicter again. Those guys are hard to listen to. DUANE, DUANE, DUANE! 🫡👏👏👏

  • echo chamber

    Enjoy the topics and Hughs interview style. That said, most of this is Hugh interviewing other podcast hosts (echo chamber) and, notably, almost never interviewing anyone from across the aisle who might push back on Hugh.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Israel Elections, Updates on key U.S. Senate races
Q: How do you see Susan Collins and Troy Jackson shaking out in a week and a day?
Noah Rothman gives Susan Collins a narrow advantage, citing her strengths as a candidate and her Senate seniority, while noting the race remains close and undecided voters could matter.
Israel Elections, Updates on key U.S. Senate races
Q: By this time tomorrow, who's going to be the next Prime Minister?
Michael Oren says the result is uncertain, though he expects Gadi Azenkot to make gains but fall short of a majority without coalition-building and defections.
One Week Until U.S. Elections
Q: Do you share my disdain for those two polls?
David M. Drucker finds the Maine gubernatorial poll inconsistent with what he saw and heard, while saying the Michigan results are more plausible but conflict with other polling and still suggest a close race.
One Week Until U.S. Elections
Q: Do you think our turnout will be significantly higher than a midterm turnout?
Matthew Continetti says turnout could be high, noting that Donald Trump energizes both supporters and opponents, while early voting and reports from different areas offer conflicting signals.
Dirty tricks (and maybe a crime) take center stage in Alaska’s Senate race
Q: Do you think the decoy candidate scheme could be a crime?
Sarah Bedford says a Florida case involving a similar scheme led to a campaign-finance conviction, but the facts and any money exchanged in the Alaska case are not yet clear.
