  • Appreciate you

    Please 1) interrupt less and 2) slow down on the delivery of the phrase “ask Chuck”. It sounds more like something else that is less good.

  • Great show. Soundbites need work.

    Chuck Todd's content and delivery are excellent. But the transitions between content are annoying and off brand.
