    Decent podcast. But you’re insane to ask us to subscribe without first being able to listen to at least a few full-length episodes.

  • 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. Ease up with the arguing though — gets to be too strident

  • Great guests!

    Enjoy this podcast but Andrew talks way too much. I wish he would listen to his guests and not interrupt them so much and allow them to talk more.
