Love this! Eleanor Penny is an amazing host that makes her guests shine and communicate their points well. Just wish there were more episodes.

Started listening after the relaunch and the production values are much better and overall it is a really robust platform for some thoughtful discussions. The tone is more academic, more bookish than most other political podcasts I am aware of and this actually creates an enjoyably intimate atmosphere. Makes a good change and nice addition to the current rotation (Novara, The Dig, Chapo, PTO).
The good stuff to feed your brain.
Really great guests and thought-provoking topics of conversation !
