Downhill
Ezra, Sarah, Dara, Jane, Matt were incredibly insightful hosts and always brought a deep dive into wonky topics. Dylan, Jerusalem, and German clearly had less experience and gave a slightly less serious tone, but still brought a lot of insightful and useful conversations. Then at some point without notice this became a completely different show under the same name, but bearing more resemblance to Vox’s Today Explained than it did to the Weeds of before. For many months now it has been a surface-level explainer and interview show. Bring back the white papers! Bring back Dylan (and Dara or anyone else if willing). Bring back the nuanced conversations and difficult debates, not just an explanatory narration or question-and-answer interview format.

Like slow food, but for news. Break out of the 24 hour news cycle and tune in for seriously nerdy policy discussions.

Excellent pod, love the analysis about gun control and single payer as well as the white paper. I really enjoyed the attempt to give balanced, data driven arguments and an attempt to discuss both sides of the issues.
