  • Past its prime

    Used to love this show - Scott provides very balanced insights. But the dynamic between the two doesn’t work anymore - feels like it’s run its course

  • Be careful Michael, Your bias is showing

    I enjoy listening to this podcast, but I sometimes find that Malone’s views are a bit bias and can report news a little bit more objectively. As a journalist, I believe it's important to present balanced perspectives.

    That said, I appreciate the dynamic between the two hosts and their contrasting opinions from time to time. Malone seems to be more emotional than Budman. Overall, it's a good podcast, but I think it could be even better with a more balanced approach to certain topics. 3 Stars.
