Exactly the quality of discussion and content one would expect from this fantastic journalist.
Thank you Steve for starting this show. You are an excellent interviewer and moderator of intelligent relevant conversation.
Clearly these are two pro-Israel voices. Saying that there are still hostages is a ridiculous argument to make— they are still hostages because Netanyahu keeps refusing to negotiate and is expanding the war and annexing more territory in: the West Bank, Gaza, the Golan Heights and Syria— all illegal actions under international law.

I’m a bit biased because I will listen to anything involving Steve Paikin. He’s an excellent journalist and interviewer. His discussions are always deep, bipartisan, analytical, and interesting. His interviews are cordial and respectful, but never softball either. I’m really looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Good luck to Steve on the new podcast. He is a fair voice in the increasingly biased media universe. So far his guests have been the usual establishment types - many who have a left wing bias and based on the most recent episode suffer from TDS. Hopefully future guests will be more balanced.
