  • Excellent interviews. Only a true politico can conduct.

    Really enjoyed his interview with Gov. Newsom, shows Martin truly studies up before the event which feels rare in today’s podcast format. Keep em coming!

  • Proof Politico can’t replace Lizza.

    The absence of Ryan Lizza has never been more glaring.

    Lizza was one of the most engaging interviewers of our time.

    JMart’s ingratiating yeahs and yeps, and the barrage of statements instead of questions, and the lack of contextual setup even for those leaves much to be desired.

    He’s getting his sea legs here, but darn, what a self-inflicted wound dropping Lizza.
