“I’m gonna read the whole thing, and it’s long. We might have to preempt Antiques Roadshow for this, but it’s worth it,” - god bless Jeffrey Goldberg. lol
Disappointed

I’m a long time fan, but have been disappointed with the new host. To often question seems like a monologue-and unlike the conversations Gwen and Robert had on a Friday afternoon with their guests. Wish I still loved it.
This is a DON’T MISS pod.

I don’t give out 5 stars unless you earn it, and this pod does! I especially appreciate that you don’t have pundits and campaigns on the show. Jeff is an excellent host with just the right amount of levity and sarcasm mixed into the solid reporting. This is not only the best pod today, but maybe the best all time. Thanks!

I am now re-addicted to Washington Week. The light, informed and collegial tone set by Mr Goldberg makes this national governmental nightmare less of a trauma and more about facts. Plus he has constructed his entire set at home in the garage. Can’t beat that! Thank you Atlantic, for keeping this gem on the air for sane people who want to remain so.
