To be fair I only listened to the Helen gardener episode. Did not let her finish a sentence constantly interrupted and stated his opinions framed as questions.
I’m enjoying Nick’s interview style. At first I was annoyed he didn’t press Pete harder on spending cuts and entitlements. But then I realized but letting him talk about minute changes that will do nothing, it’s even more obvious that he has no ideas how to deal with the deficit.
Keep up the good work Nick. Like how you let them express themselves and ask simple guard rail questions to help tease out the lack of serious policies.
Authoritarian autocracy on the rise with in-your-face corruption and unconstitutionality on proud display, and the voice of the “don’t tread on me” ethos gives us… stadium funding?

Looks to me like Libertarianism needs to rediscover its anti-authoritarian roots.
Nick is grating on both this podcast and the Reason Roundtable for his constant interruptions and over-talk. The Ken Burns interview was painful to listen to, up to the point Ken even told Nick to please let him answer the question.
Most of the time I enjoy Nick’s interviews. Some subjects are more interesting than others so I don’t always finish them. But Nick is a great interviewer. I also subscribe to Blocked and Reported and love Katie, so I have heard several discussions about her book. Sorry Katie, I haven’t bought it yet.

Nick asks great questions and brought out... more
