The Choice
The concept of the podcast is good, but the editorial board is underwhelming. The interview with Mayor Pete, by some board members was almost hostile- he was in his mid 20s during his McKinsey career and a number cruncher. Yet he was blamed for layoffs and an isolated price fixing incident of huge McKinsey clients. I thought he handled those naive and unsophisticated questions with grace. In the post interview discussion he was criticized for not having sufficient passion - like Beto O’Rourke. Really! He obviously needs to practice jumping on tables at diners. The OP/ED group from The Argument is much more impressive. Ross Douthat’s criticism of the decision to endorse two candidates was spot on as well as his observations of the mission of the editorial board. Independent Voter Larry

This was so freaking pretentious. I’m still an undecided voter, but I did decide to never waste my time on another NYT podcast.

No offense, but the voters didn’t need to hear how the NYT endorsed the candidate we all knew they were going to endorse from the beginning: Elizabeth Warren (plus Amy Klobuchar for some reason, ultimately providing no real guidance).

Great podcast series to help the listener learn more about candidates and ultimately make a thoughtful decision for who you support in the primary and general elections.
