Earnest, Unpretentious Political Talk

“I like "The Scrum” and I happen to know the people that make it. My favorite thing about the show is that it’s a political talk show by political journalists who consider themselves journalists before political pros. There is no pretense here, but a sincere attempt to discuss things that matter in Massachusetts politics. It’s not politically neutral, but these are Democrats on good behavior who are genuinely fair. (For instance, they sometimes talk about Charlie Baker, and his Republican identity is treated with respect - e.g. he is never asked to disown what other, less serious Republicans are saying outside of MA. Also, when they do talk about the Senator Cruzes of the party, they avoid the cheap shots that wouldn’t serve the audience anyway.)
Also, the show isn’t just a survey of the issues on the cover of the Boston Globe; they are also interested in doing shows that get into a topic that matters in the long term.
Lastly, I don’t think the show has reached it’s full potential yet, but I like the direction they are going in. They have solid production values, and have made very good use of their guests. Their recent interview of Governor Baker was outstanding, and a sign that this could one-day be the best audio source in Massachusetts politics.”
