Greatness in Decline
For the last decade 538 was a 6 out of 5 star podcast. Not anymore. It feels like ownership has driven the 538 brand, including the podcast, towards the same style of media coverage as the other major political media. I’ll still rate the podcast a 3 out of 5 for the remaining talent (Galen, Nathaniel, Geoff, etc.) holding back a tidal wave of simplified, dumbed down, and sensationalized coverage. While listening, I get the feeling that holding it back is becoming more and more difficult. I hope the best for the remaining team.

If you’re like me and you habitually refresh the RCP (and now 538) charts then you’ll now be obsessively checking to see if they’ve put out a new podcast. If you aren’t like me then it’s still worth listening to.

FiveThirtyEight does a solid job at discussing the week in politics. Will use this podcast as a source of political information throughout this year
