  • Sheldon Sheldon

    The Dems need to message more. We need a Joe Rogan. Social media the reason Trump one. Biden was working for the middle class, but nobody knew that. Every day Americans just saw as inflation. We need to counteract Fox News first but I think we can do it a more direct way.

  • Listen (very) Carefully

    Talk: Less (Susan) will be more (Evan, Jane). Thoughtful words mandate group respect (no bullying). Try episodes where no one says: bottom line, end of the day, pretty much, like or right(?). My favorite Susan Glasser’s: “Well, look, I mean, you know..” I do?

  • The Best of the Bunch

    I listen to a number of political podcasts ( Pod Save America, Al Franken, , Heather Cox Richardson, etc.),and The Political Scene by the New Yorker is my favorite. All three hosts are thoughtful and extremely well informed. They have contacts that give them inside information, which they relay in a straightforward manner. I look forward to this podcast every week.

  • Washington Roundtable is Essential

    There is no better way to cut through the chaos and stay informed than to listen to Evan Osnos, Jane Mayer and Susan Glasser. It gives me comfort to know this team is paying such close, expert attention. I only wish they were on daily!

  • Roundtable is Gold!

    I'm a new listener, in spite of listening to the main New Yorker podcast for the last ten years. Don't know how I missed this. The Friday roundtable episodes are unmissable! Listening to brilliant journalists speak causally about the events of the week. Love it!
