“The show is full of excellent analysis and historical context for world events. However, someone really needs to look at the situation with the ads, where there are the following issues: (1) volume levels are not matched with the podcast, so once the ads start your eardrums get blown out by the sudden spike in volume; (2) ad breaks can start mid-sentence or even mid word, making some sections hard to follow; (3) sometimes ads are so close to the end of the episode that the show only comes back from the ad break for 10s or so, just end the episode at that point before playing the ads.”

“Wonderful to have Helen Thompson back, after the sad loss of Talking Politics, RIP. It is a pleasure to listen to people who know what they’re talking about develop arguments at length and without gimmicks.”
