My favorite podcast
03/09/2017
This is my favorite podcasts, indepth discussions about the actual policies and their impacts behind the political discussions in the US.
Entitled white boys who think they can comment on anything.

That latest episode, The Pipeline to Prison, was just so off. That absolutely should've been a conversation that brought in race. Instead, the host spent an hour us-and-themming them away from the issue and grossly misrepresenting the causes of violence in society. It also totally did not do justice to the actual interesting talking points of the guest. Lastly, the host should really try to minimize the amount of 'I mean's and 'you know's in his language. I've unsubscribed.
Silence the phones

Good left wing analysts of politics. Unfortunately the people making the show refuse to silence their phone notifications.
OK slightly irritating now and then

Very good, content-wise. Deep, balanced, actual, rational. Excellent. But: it tends to be long-winded. Really long. Pretty much all participants use the word ‘like’ every other sentence. I tried to count but I got fed up. ‘Like’ was used HUNDREDS of times in one podcast, I kid you not. This is silly and sad.
