“I knew nothing of Glenn thrush only a few months ago, but then somehow heard the Obama interview. That one didn't impress me very much, but now the podcast was on my radar. And the title certainly intrigued me. Thrush usually starts off in a self referential manner, always highlighting his deep relationships with the interviewees. That can be a little annoying, but forgivable for someone who traffics in "deep relationships"
Beyond that, my early impressions were that thrush traffics exactly in the gossip, rumors, and innuendo, that Bernie Sanders bemoaned so correctly during the primaries. His interviews with Clinton staffers are devoid of the really tough questions related to whether Clinton's flaws as a candidate were what proved fatal. He appears too chummy, and therefore unlikely to really get to the bottom of things.
But then there were some redeeming podcasts. He gave Jill Stein the time and space she needs to really explain her positions and purpose. He didn't belabor the "Nader question" which preoccupied all other outlets. If you listen really carefully to the recent Grover Norquist interview, you hear the internal inconsistencies in the philosophy without thrush pinning him down.
Overall, i'd like to hear a lot more on policy/political principals and less on gossip, innuendo, etc, but I'm listening regularly now, so I have to give it a 4.”Read full review »

“We need more of these kinds of thoughtful, informative, civil discussions. American politics are unwatchable for me but this podcast gives me some of what I’m looking for as I try to understand the landscape. I’d never heard of Glenn Thrush before but I’m glad to know of him now. Keep ‘em coming...”Read full review »
