Split Swamp Notes into its own

10 sept

capn ch

Swamp Notes would be better off as its own podcast, essentially a US Political Fix, rather than be nested in News Briefing. News Briefing is ephemeral and daily. If you miss a day you likely won’t go back and will just pick up tomorrow. Swamp Notes, being weekly, one might not listen to on the exact day it came out. The way one can organize podcasts to auto-delete to reduce clutter makes this somewhat incompatible and it would be solved by simply not being a podcast-within-a-podcast.
Content is great

Really enjoy FT Briefing. Listening to Sonja Hutsons voice is painful. I can’t say subscribe any longer unless host changes
Bad idea to switch hosts

Nothing against the actual coverage but I can’t listen to this show anymore because the host has such an annoying voice. I have tried a few times and just can’t do it. Bring Mark back please! I’ll be checking in occasionally to see if there is a change.
Prefer Mark’s voice

New host’s voice is just not suitable for podcast. Sounds annoying…
