“The sound quality needs to be addressed. The interview with Nancy Pelosi is difficult to follow because of the abominable sound quality.”

“love this podcast but the latest episode on swing states was so hard to listen to as a nevadan. learn how to pronounce nevada PLEASE!!! you sound dumb. also nevada and arizona are not “the south” and georgia and north carolina are not “the sunbelt”. those are not interchangeable.”

“Jonathan Freedland is simply one of the best and most insightful political commentators around. Politics is seldom nuanced, but Freedland sifts through the shock tactics and soundbites to find a balanced and realistic view.”
