The Brookings Cafeteria

Wonky in the best possible way, really interesting

Amy couldn’t help herself by faulting Republican governance for failed states but fails to note democratic run NY, California, and Ill to name 3 from the tip of my tongue plus most major Democrat run major cities that need the tax payer bailouts she’s hyping

The podcast’s policy content and guests are fantastic, always well-evidenced and nuanced policy discussions. I find it to be one of the greatest policy podcasts. My big gripe is the show’s audio quality. Crisper microphones or sound-proofing the recording environment would make this podcast much more listenable. For a podcast with an interview-style format that focuses on the content of experts’ studies instead of bombastic personalities or entertainment, sound quality is especially important.

The facts matter and Fred along with the BCP Team and all of Brookings for that matter are doing great work bringing solid, nonpartisan perspectives on important issues into the limelight. Policy wonks unite!
