Needs some fine-tuning

“The concept is solid, if a little cliched. Without knowing their voices well, it's sometimes hard to tell David and Ross apart. More problematically, David and Michelle don't seem to differ much in their views, leaving it as a 2 v 1 argument. (Maybe we don't need the reasonable middle of the roadness of David at all?). And while hyper articulate and interesting, all the participants are just so... polite to each other. A bit more passion (without getting into Crossfire-like "you're an idiot!" territory) would make it more listenable to.
The production is shonky. Weird sound effects that are intended to illumunate, just obscured for me. Music coming in too early and then just hanging around like an unwanted guest at a party. Surprisingly amateur given this is from the NY Times. I heard that they're not producing this in-house though for some reason. Maybe they should!
All these issues are most certainly fixable. I'll keep listening for a while. But right now this doesn't come close to rivaling the Slate Political Gabfest (which is typically enhanced by Ross's occasional guest appearances on it).”Read full review »

“An important attempt at civil discourse, but Michelle needs to listen first, then speak. Interrupting Ross when he’s speaking undermines her position.”

“I think we can all benefit from understanding how the other side thinks, and listening to different views is more palatable with smart and thoughtful speakers. Great first podcast and looking forward to more.”

“Another platform for conservative intellectual dishonesty. Another space where conservatives can gaslight and fool people into believe they’re reasonable human beings.”
