Interesting weekly political guessing; production problems
As another reviewer noted, this is mostly horse-race-style commentary or sometimes guessing about current political action and trends, from thoughtful and usually well informed contributors. An occasional but immense annoyance, though, is that sometimes whoever drops promos into these podcasts pays no attention to matching their loudness to the average level of the main program; so, for example, around eight or none minutes into the recent “Who Lost Bengazi? podcast, for whose reasonably unaggressive loudness I’d adjusted the speakers, I was practically blasted out of my chair and the room by a promo. It was startling, jarring, uncomfortable, and infuriating. Please, if you insist on dropping those things in, that editing needs to done by someone competent!

Good for details, nuances and inflections that don't appear in print. Would help if Wickenden lost her habit of running over the ends of her interlocutor's statements.Read full review »

Thoughtful, thorough, interesting, thought-provoking, refreshingly liberal.

If you're looking for good political analysis, The New Yorker really isn't the best place to go. It's like turning to Cosmopolitan for tips on how to fix a car. There are way better options on iTunes.Read full review »
