I miss Ken Rudin
NPRs old "it's all politics" had something. Ken and Ron felt like two old journalists that had seen everything and could give an objective/light hearted take on the situation. This is not that. This feels like a group of moderately liberal, political enthusiasts at a coffee shop having a good time. Instead of objectivity, we can hear the bias slip through.

Each of the contributors brings something different to the table, and it's a great way to get a fresh take on the news. Sam Sanders is hilarious and obviously very smart, but always has a...Read full review »
