  • Best podcaster

    Edited review to say I really love the shows with Chris Cillizza, whatever they’re called. Absolutely not Matt’s fault, but I’ve fallen out of listening to the Sykes episodes bc he’s such a downer. Haven’t listened to the Bill scherr eps either bc he’s so argumentative. All to say I like the shows where Matt is interviewing other hacks. Looking forward to Bruce Mehlman (sic?) for the midterms.

    Matt Lewis is probably the best centrist podcaster besides Charlie Sykes and Mike Murphy, but his oc... more

  • Interesting reflections on the political scene

    Matt has a portfolio of listen-worthy regular guests. I especially enjoy the episodes with Charlie Sykes whose departure from the Bulwark left a gap in my podcast roster.

  • New mics please

    Good podcast but the cutouts and variable sound quality are irritating (especially on Sykes’ end).

  • Despicable Dynasty Dread 100%

    Remember Trump at England State Dinner saying the next generation needed to get acquainted? As in Prince William & Kate = his kids. The official White House announcement of King Charles visit last week? The meeting of “Two Kings.” Great insight & love your background knowledge. I didn’t know even WV has a political dynastic family. Too much of that in America!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bill Scher on the Wisconsin, Michigan & Maine Poll Misses — Plus Ronald Reagan & 'The Brink of War '
Q: How did casting influence the portrayal of Reagan and why was Jeff Daniels chosen?
Casting aimed to capture Reagan's gravitas and civility without tipping into caricature. Jeff Daniels was selected for his range, capable of moving from comedy to serious, dialogue-heavy scenes, which helped embody the character's dignity and moral focus while avoiding a performative impression.
Bill Scher on the Wisconsin, Michigan & Maine Poll Misses — Plus Ronald Reagan & 'The Brink of War '
Q: What is the film about and why focus on the Reykjavik moment?
The film centers on a crucial weekend in 1986 when Reagan and Gorbachev negotiated in Reykjavik, a moment that reshaped the Cold War. The creators chose a day-in-the-life lens to explore the human dynamics and the moral clarity driving leadership, rather than a cradle-to-grave biopic, to give audiences intimate access to the decision-making and the personal stakes involved.
Killing Baby Hitler: Can You Change History Without Changing Human Nature?
Q: What inspired the time-travel premise and the 'Mel Brooks' naming choice?
The premise grew from exploring whether changing the past could prevent atrocity, while the Mel Brooks naming choice was a subtle joke the author included to signal how historical figures can be reframed through storytelling.
Killing Baby Hitler: Can You Change History Without Changing Human Nature?
Q: How does the novel treat the idea of changing history without changing human nature?
Tomasky explains that altering events does not erase core human traits; the story demonstrates that even significant shifts in history can leave core impulses and moral questions intact, leading to new forms of danger and opportunity.
MI Senate Primary Shock: El-Sayed SURGES as Ground Energy Explodes
Q: How does the broader Democratic shift affect this race and the party's overall direction?
Milbank contends the center of gravity has moved left among many voters, with common ground on healthcare and economic reform, and the insurgent-labor coalition being more nuanced than simple establishment-versus-insurgent slogans.
