Heavy on Snark, Light(ish) on Substance

“These 12-year olds bring all the foul-mouthed, giggling, snarky panache of hip 14-year olds coupled with the wandering yet insightful analysis of especially precocious 10-year olds.
This is Gawker-style "news" for the young end of the millennial set. That said, it's not bad if you can chew through the thick candy shell of shallow attitude -- but don't be surprised if you find the actual substance less than entirely nourishing; this should not be your main course.
In short, this is decidedly third-string political analysis, though it's unique in that because most other third-string political podcasts are of the excessively wonky, catatonia-inducing dry variety, whereas this is some bizarro-world FM "zoo crew" as imagined by the high school debate team. (Between those extremes, I'd definitely put more money on this team eventually maturing into quality journalists; they've got the brains, and they'll eventually grow bored with waving their junk in public.)
Definitely NOT essential listening, but enjoyable for the right type of listener. Specifically: If you are such a political junkie that you're already deep into the third-string bench (this is me); or if you're a below-drinking-age aspiring intellectual who can't quite stomach cask-strength journalism without a heavy pour of sour-mix attitude.
If either of those sounds like you, enjoy. For all others, be advised.”Read full review »

“They judge politicians logically. Complements and criticism is made not based a person's political affiliation, but on their honesty and actions. These reporters' judgments are based on how they think an issue will affect our country and human rights. This is an informative and fun...”Read full review »

“Politics, and the political horserace, from a liberal viewpoint. Their biggest strength is they aren't afraid to spend a lot of time on complicated issues.”Read full review »
