Good topics, angles, guests, discussions, but the hosting is unbalanced. Zack's a strong interviewer... asks good questions and seems genuinely curious to hear and engage with the answers. But he doesn't show much of himself and his personality, which is important in a podcast. Liz has a more interesting and unique voice and subject position, but she is just awful at interviewing, often talking over guests to express her own opinions, or being needlessly and awkwardly confrontational. If this dynamic is what you're going for, it's not really working. The pod would be stronger if Zack let some of himself out, and Liz reined herself in (a lot).
Zach is great!

Zach Weissmueller is an excellent interviewer who talks to a range of interesting guests about interesting topics and shows a great deal of professionalism when dealing with people he might not completely agree with. Unfortunately, Liz Wolfe’s confrontational style really detracts from the show. This show is supposed to be about “just asking questions,” not ranting to the guests and cutting them off constantly.
Foolish

Interesting conversation about the failings of the Democratic Party in the context of Trumps appeal, but anyone equating antisemitism with antizionism, even a guest while receiving no pushback in 2025 is ahistorical and foolish.

Alone and you’ll get a clearer picture of the electorate. All the gender/race/education segmentation clouds the picture. Go with income. Conclusive.
