  • Such a smart show

    This new version of the show has great chemistry between the hosts, is smart and always interesting. Also, I love Radhika Jones’ voice. I would totally listen to any mediation app she wants to record for.

  • So many new perspectives

    I think this show has become really fascinating. Every week i hear about a new concept/perspective I hadn’t considered. Thanks to the staff for thinking outside the box when putting the content together- very intellectually stimulating!

  • Bring Back Brian!!!

    Radhika is smart, probably. An astute and fine editor, I’m sure. But a total snooze to listen to.

    The Vanity Fair brand should marry Hollywood glamour and pizzazz with thoughtful commentary and charisma. This would be an excellent recap if describing a Board of Directors meeting at Vassar in the ‘80s, insisting on relevance while stinking of moth balls and marmalade.

    Because there’s nothing worse than a mid delivery by a chief. I don’t need the CEO of a mattress company to narrate its podcas... more

  • Joe Bidens legacy

    You both dropped the ball in a big way, but no more than much of the other media does. Much of what you said is true, but you don’t seem to get WHY it’s true.

    You both need to get out of your echo chambers.

  • Obeying in Advance

    I am really disappointed that you are going back to CNN while they had the lowest ratings on tv last week. I refuse to watch any cable show (aka news). You could have supported your family in ways that allowed you to keep your dignity.

An Explosive Report, Then a Bombshell Diagnosis: The "Original Sin" Authors on Biden's 2024 Decision
Q: What do you think should be done right now about Biden's apparent decline?

Q: Do you think that there was an opportunity for Nancy Pelosi to handle things differently?
A lot of Democrats were whispering about this. They had concerns, you know, and they ended up not doing anything about it until basically the debate made it that he was going to lose.
An Explosive Report, Then a Bombshell Diagnosis: The "Original Sin" Authors on Biden's 2024 Decision
Q: How are you going into this week discussing your book?
Our book is about a larger separate issue than what the battle he's facing right now. And again, we wish him the best, the very best sincerely with that.
