Grateful for the discussion and analysis!
Apple Podcasts5EfuaMistyUnited States2 months ago - No Thought Diversity
I am as devastated as anyone that the American people voted for Trump but this show is nothing more than everyone repeatedly saying I hate Trump so much. Can we get some actual mainstream discussion that pushes forward real and diverse ideas for addressing today’s challenges?
Apple Podcasts1Mr. T from D.C.United States2 months ago - It depends on the panel
Cote, Bouie, and French are the best: smart, thoughtful, never ponderous or didactic. They get five stars. Spiegelman on the hand is in over her head. It’s just not serious thinking. More interest in being cool than analyzing issues. Let this one go….0 stars for her.
