  • I love Andrew's conversations, but I'm often frustrated by his combativeness and interrupting his guests. However, I don't think you could get the depth without the fight, so I'm torn.

  • Half a rating for half a show

    Why would I give full ratings to half a podcast? Especially half a show that you post in full on YouTube?

  • Love Andrew

    Love this podcast — I have listened to and read Andrew for years. Brilliant, with much heart. And I’m a former democrat, a flinty yankee centrist.

  • S.Harris episode

    Usually like your show Andrew. Harris is an obnoxious condescending know-it-all- insufferable.

  • Aggressive subscription pushing

    Didn’t get to finish listening to the podcast because it was interrupted by demanding a subscription and never continued afterwards. Very unfair. One can’t subscribe to every podcast one wants to listen once. If you so desperate for money (I understand - those things cost) charge for one and upfront, not at the end.

Q: If you were to sift through everything, what's the one thing that you would think we should take notice of, pay attention to?
