“Wow. Thank you SO MUCH for minimizing ads and placing them at end of episodes! And for delivering such excellent coverage in this and your Deep Dive podcast, also new to me. Both so smart and helpful. Thank you!”

“Some interesting tidbits but super low production value and the host can’t seem to stop giggling and injecting partisan bias. Very unprofessional.”

“I find the jaunty tone offensive when reporting on grave matters of state like the potential far right take over of the speakership. You have allowed your delight as a jaded reporter watching political maneuvering to overshadow the gravity of the moment . Grow up .”

“It’s impossible to get past the American Petroleum Institute ad at the top of the show when we are in the throes of the climate crisis. Begging journalists and publications to draw a line in the sand.”

“Not sure what happened but this used to be a quick great way to get headline news for me in the mornings. Now it’s bad jokes and bad interviews with reporters that goes to in depth. Just tell me the news quickly please. I also miss the old reporter from last summer he was great”

“The show used to have some level of production value now it’s just feels like they’re reading. Even some. Basic production like Politico’s energy podcast snippets would be better.”

“The content and usefulness of this “playbook” has suffered a precipitous decline. No objective coverage , no breakdown of Washington power players - it feels like the Washington version of a supermarket gossip rag.”

“The first two minutes of April 27ths podcast was so laughably partisan I think I’ve officially given up on playbook. Y’all used to at least pretend to be bipartisan. On to Punchbowl.”

“Todays episode on the “ethics” issue of Justice Thomas was so dishonest. No mention of Thomas’ responses and they insinuated he is stonewalling. Also the show has really gone down hill since the last host left.”

“Dislike the new long form interviews tacked on at the end of playbook. It’s unnecessary in my option, playbook is a quick dive into what’s happen in the beltway. The addition is giving knock off “Daily” podcast. Please go back to the old format.”

“Please stop with the horoscopes, it’s nonsense that doesn’t belong in a show where people seek news. Might as well go full Pop-Start and give a daily Kardashian update. Do better, assume the audience aren’t all idiots that believe in astrology.”

“I just started this podcast and the narrator’s speaking cadence is so slow, it’s hard to listen to. I listen at 1 1/4 speed which helps a little, but please speak faster. No one naturally speaks that way! Especially when reading.”

“Information is interesting, although it comes off a bit biased. But most importantly, the narrator voice quality is poor and the cadence is sporadic making this report difficult to listen to.”

“This podcast is just a gossip column for people who think they’re smart. I’m left leaning and sort of into politics but if you’re looking to learn and get facts that matter on topics you’re passionate about, this ain’t it.
Every episode feels like i’m sitting at the nerd table in the cafeteria...”Read full review »
