“Let it be noted that tSPG was the first to coin the term 'gabfest' for a Slate podcast, and that this hoary institution got us through the (at points) dread campaign /years of our lives/ that were the 2008 election; for this alone these intrepid souls merit our undying respect. True, the frequent inter-party snipes among our endearing panellists tend to strike one sometimes as gratuitous, and true, David Plotz can strike you as a bit whiny and inconsistent, and as one granted too much deference (the careful listener will realise why - he's something like top or second-to-top Slate editor, and thus boss of our favourite hosts Emily (Bazelon) and John(Dickerson)). But even Plotz is endearing once you get to know him, and the half-meant snipes for whatever their other (de)merits do help to prevent the crew from taking themselves too seriously. If I could have one thing different about the show, it would be more time more often for Emily's brilliant legal catch-us-ups, which are fascinating, and in which she truly shines. Or perhaps she should develop her own, additional podcast dedicated to modern law? I would be her greatest fan.”Read full review »

“I was just catching up on my past downloaded episodes of gabfest, having lots of time on my hands as a Chrysler worker. I don't recall the the tittle of the gabfest that I was listening to because I fast forwarded through it after hearing that GM was going down because of the UAW. The fact...”Read full review »
