  • Shanghai summit

    Excellent overview. So good to hear an Asian rather than Western focus on what these events mean. Keep up the good work 👍

  • Common Curtesy

    Great topics & interesting guests.

    Rude though to keep cutting off an interview partner like that (May 28th).

    Just do a better editing job and don’t waste time on remarks about yourself and the show if you are so worried about time.

  • Beltway Convention

    More left-of-center conventional commentary with little actual analysis and a lot of “sort of”s and buzzword churn.

  • Great content when you can hear the speakers

    I really like the content and, despite the audio getting better over the years, it is still impossible to understand, especially listening in a vehicle.

    The discussion is really good, but the sound adjustment is very annoying!!!! Male host’s voice is loud and quiet, you have to adjust the volume ALL THE TIME!!! Is there any way or anyone could share this to the host?
