“This is a great podcast from two politicians from a more civil era. I didn’t agree with much of what Haslam did as governor, but I was always impressed that he would go against his party when necessary (e.g. healthcare), and the same could be said of Bredesen. They’re showing the same willingness in this podcast to favor practical solutions over political party.
My only critique of the podcast is that I wish they would push their guests to answer the final question more genuinely. So far, every guest has answered the “you might be right” question with some version of “I used to think the wrong way about this issue, but now I think the right way.” I wish the governors would push their guests to honestly consider their CURRENT opponents’ viewpoint and tell of a time when they thought their current opponents “might be right.”
Otherwise, great work!”
