Looking for an Honest Man

I don’t give out 5 stars unless you earn it, and this pod does! I especially appreciate that you don’t have pundits and campaigns on the show. Jeff is an excellent host with just the right amount of levity and sarcasm mixed into the solid reporting. This is not only the best pod today, but maybe the best all time. Thanks!

They have become so biased that they are no longer relevant. Let me know when you come back to reality.

As editor of The Atlantic, he is excellent. Moderating a panel does not come easy to him. He gets all tangled up in wording the question. Perhaps some coaching would help?
