  • Daniels: Laugh riot?!?

    Is there a producer for Eugene Daniels intoning “make it light and fun!” off-mic? Laughing gas pumped into the studio? Good content, but annoying and almost always inappropriate and idiotic vocal delivery from Daniels. As a cable pundit he’s fine, but here…NO.

  • painfully liberal and just keeps going downhill

    I have listened to the playbook daily briefing for almost 10 years. It was amazing during the original hosts. Ever since they left it’s just gotten more liberal and annoying.

    I voted for Clinton/Biden/Harris but I don’t tune into this podcast for media slant. Just report the news.
