The Takeout with Major Garrett

I really enjoyed this podcast. However, now that Trump owns CBS I will not be watching any news shows or listening to any podcasts associated with CBS. It’s an abomination.

Insight and ability to ask meaningful questions are the best in the industry bar none. Also excellent with Chad Hartman Friday afternoons on WCCO radio.

This is my “can’t miss” podcast of the week. So glad you are back, Major and Team!

While I used to look forward to The Takeout in its old form, after one episode, I’m unsubscribing from this new version because it is not even close to what it used to be. The show used to be a long form interview over a meal where Major Garrett would push back on a guest and fully probe the guest’s perspective on the news and life. Gone are the days” Three Core Questions.” Gone are the interviews in a restaurant. Gone is the audio/podcast first focus. Now, the show is a standard “let’s just record the TV show and release it as a podcast.” Typical panel discussions and sound-bite interviews followed by a “walking tour” of San Diego did not demonstrate that they know what they are doing for podcasts. They had something special; now, they have more of the same.
