Amazing insights every single episode!
My new favorite podcast. The Red team/Blue team analysis is thoughtful, interesting and absent of the partisan hot take, which is much appreciated.
Listening to Jake & Jon discuss world events feels like I’m getting to hear how the real inside Washington really works! No filters just insights from two guys who have lived it.
Although interested in this podcast, I put off listening to it because I thought it would be…well…staid. I was wrong! It is intriguing, fairly nonpartisan, and timely. The format is good and the views expressed are respectful. The world really is much more complicated than I understand
