Is it the best US election podcast? Yes it is.

Knowledgable presenters who are not afraid to ask difficult questions.

This podcast is basically little more than a sickeningly sycophantic verbal back rub for Kamala Harris, so I suppose I shouldn’t have been shocked to hear two (checks notes) “journalists” commending Harris for refusing to answer questions in what was an already queasily softball interview. I’m no fan of Trump but I believe that journalists should at least quote him accurately and the mocking, sneering tone they adopt when speaking about him actually makes me root for the guy just so that the smug smirks will be wiped off the face of these presenters. Finally, the forced banter and sophomoric swearing is incredibly cringe.
Terrible Hillary ?
1 Aug
Was Hillary Clinton such a terrible candidate Mr Sopel ? She won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes . A victim of a terrible voting system surely which favours rural areas over cities. Much like our FPTP . Still a great programme I should add .
Great informative podcast

When Sopel and Maitles left the BBC, they took with them Lord Reith’s BBC founding principles of inform, educate and entertain. Great guests and even handed approach when applying critical thinking to the confusing and often shocking world of US politics.
