A show in precipitous decline

“Just had to unsubscribe from this show because it has descended into dorm room level pseudo-philosophy in almost every episode.
Sean frequently muddles concepts and seems not to put much effort into understanding the intellectual contexts for his guests’ ideas, which means he is basically at the same level of knowledge as the listener and can’t do much to direct the conversation towards anything insightful. He often tries to justify his preexisting beliefs instead of honestly grappling with challenges to them.
The show has also moved increasingly towards philosophers, which has facilitated the downward shift in quality with decreasing levels of specificity of the subject matter and groundedness in the real world.”

“The show is incredibly long, but it's nice to half-listen to while doing something else. The sober take on politics and American life is much-needed.”Read full review »
