“About three months in on the podcast. Didn’t get a partisan vibe- maybe a shade left, but not off putting.
What is off putting are the political ads and Jake’s level of distraction.
The show is only 10 minutes long. Why can’t he speak directly into the mic for the duration?
It’s like he’s being...”Read full review »

“Listen every day. Appreciate the information. Jake’s sound is inconsistent and distracting. Maybe find out what Anna is doing and adopt her practice. Thank you for your work.”

“Such a great podcast to follow if the gov will shutdown. Teaches the listener government process and why each party is pushing a certain strategy.”

“This podcast has so much potential, but production quality is awful. Commercials cut in unexpectedly, there is almost no structure to the show save the main 3 topics, etc.”

“I don’t think the broadcast should be accepting political ads - stick with toothpaste or potato chips. The political ads make me question your objectivity. Plus I don’t want to listen to Business Roundtable’s B.S. The news is annoying enough.”

“Have loved this pod for catching up on Hill news, but the audio quality has been so inconsistent. Recently, it sounds echoey and as another reviewer said, like the recording is happening in a bathtub. I find myself skipping this each morning now. Please fix the audio quality!!”

“For the past three years, I have started my day with the Daily Punch and it’s iconic theme song.
Now the theme song sounds like it was generated by an AI trained on Musack from the 1980s.
And the hosts sound like they are recording in empty bathtubs?
Still love the AM edition, and will...”Read full review »

“The way the audio comes in and out on every podcast is infuriating. It sounds as if both hosts are continually moving closer to and then further away from the microphone and consequently affecting the audio.”

“Podcasts have advertisements, I get that. But the way this podcast intersperses several ad breaks into a 9 minute show is infuriating. Makes it impossible to skip. When there are other similar shows like playbook that doesn’t pull this stuff, I’m not sure why you would click on punch bowl.”

“Very informative podcast and I appreciate their work. Respectfully, I wish Jake would be more cognizant of speaking directly into the microphone. His volume seems to dip in and out fairly regularly, as if he is turning his face away from the microphone. I never notice this when Anna is speaking.”

“Seems like Jake Sherman forgot how to talk after leaving Politico Playbook Daily Briefing. Lots of “uhhhh,” “ummm,” and dead air as if someone just reminded him to say something and he had to stop to read that reminder. Hopefully he’ll find his footing again but this is pretty bad.”
