Not a good analysis unless you want to hear Republican spin. Disappointing
Favourite daily news podcast
I have been following this show from day one & always enjoyed, but lately all guests have same political side not debate and the story is unidirectional. On this reason I decided to unfollow the show.
This show continues to get better and better, the quality of the conversation this week was excellent.
I think you should select the end of show question for the guests to answer - we’re just ‘getting to know them’ and then you bring in a different correspondent to answer the question.
