- Great take on J.D.
I've never really been quite sure whether I could trust JD Vance. As a lifelong supporter of Israel, I now know that I cannot. If he gets the Republican nomination for president in 2028, I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but it won't be voting for HIM!

United Statesa month ago - I give up
This is one of the most balanced podcasts with commentary thoughtful. But I simply can’t stand Noah. His voice has become increasingly shrill, his thesaurus thicker, and his intransigence more annoying. Rich eventually reels him in but I’m out. I wish them all the best.
Apple Podcasts2DNTPUnited Statesa month ago - Good ideas interrupted
There are generally interesting discussions, although this podcast tends to be a bit of an echo chamber. The host has this terrible knack of interpreting a developing good thought with a careless crack. Let them cook.
Also the guests need better situational awareness in turning off their phones, their computers, and their dishes. The occasional lapse of professionalism is disproportionately distracting. Could be better.
Apple Podcasts2s.o’dUnited Statesa month ago - Once great. Now pathetic.
Please delete MBD. He has nothing of value to say. Why is he on here? He merely presents personal opinions, like at the local bar, unsubstantiated by reason. He’s only there to placate uneducated MAGA sympathizers. He has no intellectual perspectives. Boring.

Phil is good when he doesn’t hijack the conversation. Yes or no exit question. He rambles to the extent I said to hell with it and marked the episode played.
