Klantrecensies
Great insights in American politics
Good quality info which we don’t hear from regular outlets in the Netherlands. Serious takes humorly brought
Great, balanced show
They are tough on both sides and calmly explain the hurricane that is happening outside our windows. A great show. Love, from the Netherlands.
Great for people who love following American politics
I think it’s one of the best political podcasts for anyone who’s interested in what’s happening in the US. That said, the guys should really stop talking about Trump now that he’s out of office - I know their justifications, but the Pod is literally repeating all the media mistakes that fueled Trump in the first place.
