  • Perfect remedy

    I just added a review of this excellent podcast in my review of The New Yorker’s podcast.

    So great to have Russ add some nutrition to the empty calories of the original show.

  • Great!

    Was hoping someone would comment on the NYPS. Thank you Russ! Spot on analysis and funny to boot. Wouldn’t mind hearing additional commentary on the mid-week NYPS Foggatt episodes.

  • Keep it up!

    The professionalism shines through, even as a one man show, and I legitimately laughed out loud at a few points (the humor is dry as heck). We can't take the piss out of these people enough, so glad to hear a voice who can cut straight to it with the wit that the NYPS hosts lack.

  • Good podcast

    While I often disagree with Russ, I enjoy hearing his take and I mostly tune in in hopes he will have his much smarter father back on as a guest

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP. 21 - "Where Is The Iran-Israel Conflict Headed?"
Q: What is the scenario here that you are worried about?
Kareem Sajjapur emphasizes the risks of both action and inaction regarding U.S. intervention in Iran, highlighting the potential dangers of an entrenched Iranian regime with nuclear ambitions.
Ep. 5 "What to Expect from the Biden-Trump Debate, with the Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin"
Q: What are you going to look for during the debate next week?
I mainly just hope that it won't be the circus that was the 2020 debate, where Trump interrupted Biden so much that people felt like America lost.
Ep. 5 "What to Expect from the Biden-Trump Debate, with the Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin"
Q: What do you hope happens in the upcoming debate?
I hope that there's some words that have some meaning and that we can go back and if promises are made, we can ask what those promises were.
Ep. 7 "Trump's Triumphant R.N.C. and Biden's Dilemma" (w/ Norman Finkelstein)
Q: What did you think of Donald Trump's speech at the RNC?
I thought the beginning of his speech where he talked about his vantage, his viewpoint on the assassination attempt was very powerful and strong.
Ep. 7 "Trump's Triumphant R.N.C. and Biden's Dilemma" (w/ Norman Finkelstein)
Q: What do you think of the Biden administration, the Biden campaign, and Kamala Harris?
I think she will be the nominee, and she's even worse than him. And I think most of America agrees with me on that.
