Would give this 5 stars, but for Matt

The Weeds does some great deep dives, but Matthew Yglesias’s way of speaking — his grating, sing-song voice, with unexplainable pauses and emphasis — makes my teeth grind. I wish, too, that he would learn to speak without all the extraneous words and phrases, like “like”, “I mean”, “sort of”, etc. Other than that, he and his co-hosts are clearly smart, do their homework, and come up with thoughtful insights.

Best US politics podcast - and there's serious competition these days
A really outstanding podcast.
