“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.”
