Love the podcast
Apple Podcasts5Camp NapaUnited States2 months ago - 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.
