  • Misses many insider points

    This podcast is 100% left leaning so it is good to hear the Democrat strategies when the host “debates” a Republican rather than interview him that tells it all. mention Schumer's gamble of assigning Chris Murphy to “negotiate” with Republicans and to NOT mention that Chris Murphy is a radical anti-gun and pro-confiscation advocate is terribly misleading and leaves the audience with the wrong impression that the Dems are actually trying to get an agreement. Then you focus on the right who used... more

    Love your show, I listen every morning while brushing my teeth :-) even tho I no longer live in DC. Making a comment about Ally's Maine review. Farmington is not considered outside of Portland, it's in rural western Maine, second district. And Bangor is not considered northernmost, that be Presque Isle Maine. The real political and cultural divides are between coastal Maine (elites, usually Dems) and inland/western/northern ME, (lots of Trump and MAGA signs). Might want to talk to a few Mainiacs... more

  • Becoming unlistenable

    I’ve been listening to Anna and Jake since they were on Playbook but it’s becoming harder and harder to listen to the podcast as Jake’s right wing bias becomes more and more obvious. His glee when things work out for republicans versus his clear disappointment when things go well for Democrats is bad enough but his overt partiality is affecting the edits of this “news” source. Every time Jake is on it feels less like unique, insider reporting and more like Fox News-esque propaganda.
