While as it went all wonky but listened to this episode with Michael and it was great. Way better than Sam as originally planned!
Used to love this podcast, but the new hosts are hard to listen to with all the “uhh’s”. Combine that with zero pushback to easily debatable MAGA talking points, and it’s no longer worth listening to.
There was a long period where I listened to every show they put out. I’m done.
Doesn’t matter who is hosting at this point. It is not a bipartisan discussion, it is a facade. It is the same issue we see everyday. The conservatives have no hurdles to jump through and can ram in half points, but anything progressive has to be put through the wringer before the conservative will concede on the point.

This show used to be so interesting and have great commentary on current events and politics. Personally, I loved hearing from the students and thought the first two hosts were engaging. It has devolved sadly with the new hosts. They are fantastically boring and don’t really tackle issues. The pod got bought and watered down. They don’t want a discussion, just to get talking points on now. Moving on.
Good discussions from the hosts on the hot political news topics of the day. They have several hosts who rotate through, each from a different political perspective.
The mixing of the audio is also great, its a high quality podcast all around.
