Love the show but Max’s shadow voice

Max’s shadow voice when Jon speaks is really distracting! Constantly. Please stop.
The worst kind of paternalism

C. Eubanks

Show features extensive navel-gazing from the Democratic Party that manages nonetheless to land none of the blame on itself. They cluck their tongues and tsk tsk tsk and ask "what is to be done about the phone-addicted youth who support Luigi Mangione?"
Love the show, needs to cut out interview into separate segments or podcast even

This podcast is a great break from the general politics while still exploring media and other topics that affects our daily lives. The interviews are great but they should really be their own episodes or series because you guys have gotten great people and I think these interviews get lost because everyone’s hang ups with the lead in portion which is a more casual discussion (and sometimes less polished political discourse). It’s difficult to convince people to tune into a one and a half hour episode of two separate topics especially if it’s pulling a Harvey dent where it takes itself seriously only half the time😅 I’m obviously here for both but I understand not everyone is
Uh-huh

Love this podcast—the insight is always spot on, and I have a ton of appreciation for these guys. That said, I’d love for Max to cut back on the constant “uh-huh”s when Jon is speaking. It comes across as either not really listening or just waiting for his turn to talk, which can be distracting. Maybe it’s a nervous tic, but either way, embracing a little silence would go a long way. Huge respect for Max, but this habit needs to go.
