Customer Reviews
“Sucked the salt from their bodies…?”
Had to chuckle about this line from the transcript. Maybe a New Orleans drawl is creeping in and making transcription tricky. And I am perfectly content watching the Lakers lose, even if it is at the hand of the Nuggets. As a Jazz fan whose team doesn’t even know how to tank correctly, I struggle with benevolence for nearby teams who have reached the pinnacle. Que será. I never miss an episode. Keep it up Tim.
Really miss Charlie, Tim Miller can be good but please no Olivia Nuzzi
The show is very different with Tim Miller as the new host. It’s mostly good with interviews with serious people, good questioning and discussions by Tim. Olivia Nuzzi drags the show down. She’s been on twice within about a week and now there’s talk that she’ll be a regular. She’s juvenile, giggly, snarky, gossipy, self-promoting and brings little substance to the show. Please bring real journalists or lawyers on to discuss the Trump trials.
Missing Charlie
Charlie in the hosting position was a daily must-listen for me. His level-headed takes on the news of the day helped keep me informed without feeling enraged. Tim’s contrarian insistence on “arguing” with far right guests is tiresome and not helpful for keeping the pulse on where the country is going in an election year. His proud embrace of having Peter Pan Syndrome - and repeatedly reminding guests and listeners of it - is just sad, weirdo behavior.
