- Timely but less insightful
I listen to Political Capital to stay up to date. I think Rob does an excellent job of helping listeners to stay current.
I find the panelists spark a certain kind of echo chamber. I listen to other pods whose panelists have been out of active public life for some time. They seem to speak with greater candour and can analyze other points somewhat more objectively.
So if I could offer feedback, it would be to find panelists who could speak more fulsomely to issues of the day.
