Customer Reviews
Fabulous!
I have always struggled with understanding the US political milieu and these two commentators are excellent - clear, current, insightful and incredibly interesting. A great duo who move at an excellent pace. So glad I found this.
Disappointing Boring Chit Chat
Promised so much, I was truely excited by the prospect of more Much analysis like in the February interview. but this just sounds like a couple of hacks talking about what they saw on the TV news last night I want to hear from a couple of high minds at work, that have combed and scoured the newspapers blogs or something more than just the headlines.
I love Anthony’s occasional nuggets like the cheque he handed to Barack Obama - great story. But I’m not hearing anything interesting or insightful about Trump’s criminal trials and the coming election that puts the whole world in peril
A boring casual chitchat as if none of us is important, quite a odds with the Anthony Scaramucci we heard back in February’s excellent interview which I highly recommend.
Good to hear direct from the states!
Delivered as very long intense monologues, rather than the conversational structure of UK’s The Rest is Politics. It might be the way it’s done in the states, but it is exhausting. Didn’t last the episode.
