Useless
I look for an informative and educational “news I can use” type of podcast. I don’t mind humor when it helps but I find political gossip the worst in useless political coverage. This show exemplifies it. CJR recently posted a commentary about how journalists have been covering Senator Sanders run for president. This podcast had an episode that covered “Bernie-mentum” but it really didn’t inform regarding the senator and was rather dismissive. It fit CJR’s profile. Politicians running for office are candidates for a job. Why can’t journalists cover politicians like they are agents for employers evaluating candidates? I want to know their qualifications, their past behavior and their likely future behavior. What issues do they consistently support and why? Most journalists are useless at that kind of coverage and it’s frustrating. At least with Slate’s Political Gabfest I get good legal analysis of constitutional issues.

Its a good dose of irreverence in a landscape of overly serious political podcasts. Best part is that Annie Alex and Mark actually know what they’re talking about. Its nice to hear what reporters have to say when they, so to speak, let their hair down.

Amusing and lively discussion of the crazy election ahead. I'm very glad they decided to make it- I'm going to need all the sanity checks I can get in the next 17 months.

Smart, in-the-know people, but man I wish they wouldn’t talk over each other all the time...
