Maddening, but richly rewarding
Yascha's style is contentious in an overtly academic way. He reminds of professors during invited speaker talks when I was in my PhD program in Philosophy. He talks way too much. This podcast however manages to reach such an exceedingly high level of intellectual tone and character that I have to give it the top rating possible. I just think Yascha conducts himself during these conversations as though his audience didn't exist, which I find utterly maddening. He gets so singularly focused on trying to articulate as many objections to the interlocutor's thesis or theses, that he takes up way too much of the conversational space and it winds up feeling far less like an actual interview and much more like I am witnessing someone's doctoral dissertation defense.Read full review »

More reviews of The Good Fight
Yasha Mounk rules and I used to follow him on twitter before my suspension. He is very well rounded in that he seems to understand American as well as world issues. His accent and voice are so melodious that even my two kids will sit quietly and listen to him. They are not quiet children.

I'm reviewing this after the first episode, but so far it looks like it will be a good mix of Mounk's analysis and his talking with expert guests.Read full review »

Yascha is one of the sharpest writers about the global challenges facing liberal democracy working today, and brings a much needed global perspective on the issue that is sorely lacking, at least in the vast majority of American news coverage
