    One of my top 3 podcasts. Keep up the great work. I always enjoy when Anne Applebaum appears on the pod. She never disappoints.

    Jonathan Swan knew his interview was bad. He was pedantic + exacting when it didn’t matter (Vance) & then noncommittal + imperious for the rest of it. He knew he had been difficult & that’s why he asked Tim how he thought the interview was going. Bad. It was going bad, Jonathan.
