“I feel like the moral of every story is “it’s complicated” and “yes, I don’t have a view that fits neatly in a box.” But after you learn about the person’s point of view and why they hold it, the rest of the episode just kind of drags on with pointless questions that don’t really give you more information about that person. By twenty minutes, the listener is just like “we get it! This person has a seemingly contradictory viewpoint,” which isn’t as “rare” as people think. I think most people forget that most Americans aren’t die-hard partisans who align with their political party or ideological group on every issue. It’s a fine podcast, could be shorter.”
