Solid enough when we don’t have to listen to Dasha parrot lines from her White House sources (Miller? Seems like Miller). Jack corrals it a bit, but Dasha seems to be actually mimicking Trump’s speaking style: a mix of vapid cliches and vague statements lacking any clear examples. As if designed to avoid risking her access.
Can we please have Megan Masserly full-time? Nothing against Dasha, but Megan seems to stick to the facts more, instead of mixing in any political bias.
That’s all
I find the advertisers for this podcast to be a real turn off in listening to the show. The last draw was when Black Rock was selling its image to the American people through advertising on this podcast. Other advertisers have included Bayer and healthcare lobbies. How can POLITICO support independent, journalism and democracy when it takes money from some of the largest most powerful corporate leaders?
