Extremely disappointed
I’ve listened to Gabfest for six years. I have recommended it to many people, and enjoyed many episodes. However, I am exceptionally disappointed in the initial complete lack of discussion about Israel – Palestine. And now I am extremely disappointed in how they have finally addressed it. It is not complicated. I do not think anybody, including David Plotz, should be advocating that we just look away from this and stop talking about it. I understand that being Jewish and feeling an identity alignment with the concept of Israel might present some additional considerations, but what is happening is NOT complicated, and a political podcast should not be saying otherwise, especially without giving literally any context at all. I’m sad to unsubscribe, but I cannot, in good conscience, continue to support Israeli apologists who think that what Israel is doing is acceptable and who literally did not even mention the thousands and thousands of dead and injured Palestinians. Shame on you, David Plotz, Emily Bazelon, and John Dickerson. I expected more.

The trio does a good job of exploring each discussion topic, and provides thoughtful, witty commentary—Dickerson keeps the discussion rolling and doesn't let it lag. However, a few nits to pick: Plotz's wishy-washy equivocation of...Read full review »

The 3 that make up this podcast are obviously well educated and seem to know what they are talking about, but only to an extent. You cant discuss things and try to push opinion when you are only half educated. If any one of them had spent at least 5 min on the internet researching the pirates...Read full review »
