Love Joel on the pod, great addition
They show is often Brian’s vanity project with softball interviews and shooting the breeze with Shoemaker, but the addition of Joel Anderson affirms that this is one of the few podcasts doing thoughtful media criticism. Worth trying!
Used to be a great podcast. The hosts *are* great. The effort to do more politician interviews and mine it all for video clips has made it forgettable. Really too bad.
Sorry but I had to comment on this. How does a news/culture podcast not mention Stephen Colbert when talking about South Carolina and the Dems primary schedule. Y’all need more hot takes
Joel is here to breathe life into the pod. I always love Bryan’s insights and takes but respectfully David doesn’t add too much. Joel lifts the pod.
