Customer Reviews
Excellent but…
I haven’t had broadcast TV for 40 years so didn’t know of Mr Todd til this podcast so I thought it was just my annoyance w his perpetual interruption of guests. After reading other reviews, I see I’m not alone. I guess this tendency is on account of the nature of his television show. If I’m being charitable, it is bc of his enthusiasm and getting caught up in the discussion.
The discussion topics are thoughtful and timely. The guests he is able to obtain impressive. All in all v engrossing even when they get into the political weeds. Just subtracted one star for the interruption habit.
Also appreciate the isolation of sport discussions to the end of episode since it totally doesn’t interest me.
Better
Getting back to Toddcast roots - interesting conversations with interesting insiders. Stan Greenberg is always rad. Brothers who wrote lobby book ep good too. Ballmer episode was still junk tho lol
RFK Jr
I guess they can’t ignore RFK Jr completely anymore so they write him off as a not serious candidate. Clearly they haven’t listened to any of his speeches. Ross Perot was allowed to participate in 3 televised debates! Both parties are so anti democratic, I’m done and never going back, vote independent!
