Customer Reviews
Rick Wilson is brilliantly funny
Speaking of guillotines, I know where you can find one - have you heard of St. Pierre/Miquelon? Just off the coast of Newfoundland. Only used once.
Andy Kim
Generally love your podcast but today was not one of those times. I’ll start by saying I am a screaming liberal so this isn’t partisan. Andy Kim basically held a pity party for himself that went on way too long. We get it Andy you’re not the preferred candidate! Crystal clear! As a host I think it’s your job to reel guests in - like Andy - when they do nothing but repeat unnecessary information over and over. He could have made his point and moved on. I learned nothing from the interview except that perhaps Andy is extremely fragile. I don’t live in NJ but this would not have made me more inclined to vote for him. I’ll continue listening but this interview was not awesome.
Jonathan Last?
I’m impressed. I never hear him outside the Bulwark.
