Coffee Table Politics
I've listened to this show past the Terror Attacks episode and the podcast seems really jumbled. They all seem to want to get what they want to say in and we're hearing a recorded conversation of that. However, it doesn't seem to be fact-checked and contains no more intuition or insight than a normal news article. Example: Bernie Sanders seemed uncomfortable with foreign policy questions and they "heard" that the team behind Bernie Sanders was against CBS including more foreign policy questions. There were more conjectures, thoughts, a random analogy, but no source was named. For all we know, that could be a rumor. I'll have to read a news article to know, which nullifies the point of this podcast. Another example: Ted Cruz. They talked about Obama criticizing about how "someone" wanted to close the doors to Syrian refugees and that was disappointing after all America had done to welcome that family/person. Well, they pointed out that Obama didn't name him specifically, so how did they know it was him? Maybe they have insider info and could tell us more details, but I suppose I'll have to look up more articles to know. This podcast was created to inform on politics but it seems to be spreading rumors and not news. They've only attacked candidates, not explained what their stance on issues is. I haven't learned anything and I listened up to the Weekly Roundup of Tuesday November before I couldn't take it anymore.Read full review »

It's 4 stars since it fills that void of a regular political show from NPR, but nothing can compare to IAP and I can't ignore it.Read full review »

I think a lot of your enjoyment will depend on which way you lean politically. As for myself, I'm 32, male, and moderate. I do find this podcast informative at times, but the humor is beyond lame. The younger contributors sound like a hipster elite and their snarky jokes just fall flat. They...Read full review »
