Very good

I have always liked hearing and reading Ross’ perspectives. I feel I’m not inside an echo chamber. The interview with Jack Goldsmith was particularly excellent.
A new perspective on how I see things
Apr 11
I discovered this new podcast hosted by Ross lately and have been binge reading/listening. I’m registered an independent and vote on the democratic side. I regularly read David Brooks and Ross selectively, to get a different perspective on important issues of the day. Now these recent interviews in such depth have really helped me clear some of my misunderstandings and confusion about the turmoil our country is going through. I do enjoy Ross’ mind and intellectual prowess though I don’t always agree with him. Thank you Ross and your guests. Please continue this wonderful work! Btw, I also enjoy Ezra Klein Show tremendously!

On “What if there’s no way to stop Trump”. Two people afraid to say what they really think.
Only one opinion mattered all along

I was a fan of the original Argument podcast. Matter of Opinion was okay as a successor but it eventually got tiresome, with Ross Douthat’s incessant need to have the last word on every subject. But now, the NYT has decided to officially turn MoO into what it became anyway: the Ross Show. Instead of civil conversations across the political spectrum, the ineffectual liberal co-hosts have been pushed out of the picture entirely, and Ross has a free platform to interview whatever right-wing monarchist kooks he wants. Pretty good metaphor for our current era of politics.
