POLITICS
A little-known secret: Washington Post Opinions columnists like talking to one another. They don’t always agree, of course, but they are in almost constant conversation – testing their ideas, refining their thoughts and sometimes changing their minds. Now you can listen in on some of those conversations. Each week on “Impromptu,” Post columnists go beyond hot takes and have personal, candid conversations on the latest topics in news and culture that we can't stop thinking about. Listen in on the conversations that happen before the columns are written. New episodes every Wednesday.

United States v. Donald Trump

Terrific episode. I hardly ever miss a “Post Reports” podcast. Keep going back to replay particular bits of detail that are super relevant and/or interesting. Regards Janet, of Sydney, Australia, age 79. PS please ask Devlin Barrett to allow someone to write him up on Wikipedia. I love to know the background of some especially qualified commentators. There are three lines of type about him on the Washington Post web site, to which I subscribe. But I want more!!! And I’m not much good at googling, so wikipedia is great for me.
Why?

Spare me.

MAGA hates you. MAHA hates you! Yet all they want is for you to feature them and give them a voice. The interview and subsequent Pod about Alex Clarke was unbelievable in its lack of necessity. Stop sane-washing these people with two sideism.
Biase reporting.

Nice to have an open and fair reporting podcast. Very one sided reporting, especially the episode about Bishop’s death. A popular leader is not always a good leader yet they make him like a saint.
Great show
