“I was drawn to this podcast because of both the premise and Jamelle Bouie. I read him in NYT, and his appearances on the Ezra Klein Show are compulsory listening - his thinking and communication skills are so sharp that I will frequently rewind and play an episode again immediately on coming to its end. They are maestro-level performances.
Are there two Jamelle Bouies out there? The guy I know is a very talented young writer who is in part responsible for a long-needed refresh and update at the New York Times. Yet this podcast unfolds like a dorm room conversation after too many bong hits. Jamelle is certainly more relaxed here, and much less crisp. The dialogue is at times painfully inarticulate and the insights more pedestrian than I’d expected. Is that the point?
John Ganz needs communications coaching. His turns on the microphone are saturated with value-subtracting phrases such as “and so forth and so on,” “sort of like,” “kinda,” “it’s like…you know?” Jamelle cued him at one point, and he began his comment with “Well, yeah. No, I mean it’s like…” This is how teenagers talk. Any insights that you’re bringing to this discussion are obscured by all of this useless verbiage.
I’ll check in with this show again at some point, but I expected to subscribe to it today. Not in any hurry to do so after this test drive, however.”

“It's a weird thing to have had a politics that was so significantly formed in the 80s and 90s, to be now so very critical of those same politics, AND YET still feel a great deal of nostalgia for the cultural ephemera of that time. I grew up reading Clancy (probably way too early) but have...”Read full review »
