- Half Great
Katherine and Peter should have their own podcast where they can talk in dorky millennial meme-speak and Nick and Matt can keep this one where they talk like normal people.

Really enjoyed having a British perspective this week, but for the love of god, you have to stop using terms like 'TDS'. Giving it credence is embarrassing. You sound like you're sucking off DT, too afraid to fully criticize this asinine administration and many of the clearly unconstitutional, anti libertarian, anti liberalism actions. WAKE UP.
Apple Podcasts3_Tina___United States5 months ago - Bizarrely out of the loop
I genuinely don't know how the hosts could also be editors of a current events magazine; their reporting and commentary on culture, especially abroad, is like the literati equivalent of a teenager telling you about this hot new novel called "1894" that just dropped, or like your grandma calling you to ask if you've heard about a new interwebs virus called "TikTok."

Canada5 months ago - Can someone tell Suderman to calm down
I enjoyed this podcast 10 fold more when Matt Welch was the host. Can someone tell Suderman to calm down and stop with the overt adderall enthusiasm.
