Downhill?
This was a FAB podcast back in the election days, but without Harry Enten it's lost its punch. It's not enough to have good statistics; the chemistry seems to be off lately. Totally agree.
Milquetoast
They should rename this podcast the limp breadstick hour. The collective charisma of a waterlogged pastry.
