Great podcast
I am from a different country but find this podcast tackles all the topics of the week and break it down well.
Important stuff
Thank you, Lincoln Project, for your courage in helping rid the world of the scourge of Trump and showing that some things matter more than tribalism. You all sounded so dejected on the election night podcast, but I hope now he is gone in disgrace you can recognise your achievement.
