    Sometimes I feel that they’re too smart to be as gullible as they around Bari Weiss. I can’t think of anything she’s done that they’d give her the benefit of the doubt headed into CBS. Also did they see the Erika Kirk interview? She was tossed softball after softball. Can’t believe they said she was “grilled.”

  • Notre Dame discussion

    Love the powers that be but I fear Hamby needs a bigger social circle. He says he doesn’t know anyone who doesn’t think Alabama would “gut” ND head to head. But before the final rankings, oddsmakers had ND favored over Bama (and Oklahoma and Miami too) on a neutral field. Also, ND had better odds than Bama to win the whole thing. Unfortunately, the committee left the hottest team in the country (except perhaps Indiana) out of the playoff. It’s a shame.

    Julia Ioffe and Bill Cohan are always informative and insightful guests. The rest is self-aggrandizing navel gazing for yuppies, by yuppies.

  • CBS Cable was launched in 1980

    On the Oct. 4 Powers That Be, I believe Peter Hamby said something to the effect, “CBS never had a cable channel.” In fact, CBS was the first broadcast network to launch a cable channel, in 1980, called CBS Cable, although it lasted only about one year. Unrelated, although the episode was billed as The Powers That Be, what played on the podcast was The Grill Room, with No mention of The Powers That Be.
