Thank you

The review that John Dickerson has done has been fantastic.. I rarely hear anyone do political reviews in such an objective, concise way with a bit of humor sprinkled in.
I have to say that I will miss you.
Thank you for being so excellent at your job

Good bye John

I loved the Face the Nation Diary. You will be missed John, but we will hear you on the Political Gabfest and see you in the AM on CBS.

So sad this is ending

This podcast was the highlight of the week for me. The 24 hour news cycle is a rollercoaster and having this weekly news roundup and summary with John’s presentation was great.
