Customer Reviews
James
I’ve long been a huge fan of James Carville. He’s my dude! I’m so happy I found this podcast! Smart, funny and factual. Excellent, excellent, excellent! I met him at a book signing in SanDiego while there representing my backyard, I apparently forgot that he taught middle school in the Back of Vacherie! Seriously? We have innumerable common friends ( though some would think they are vertical uncommon (Zeb Mayhew, I’m looking at you!) I’ll return week after week!
Love the show!!
Look forward to every episode!!

Amazing
Hard to believe how awesome these guys are. Smart and funny. And really know their stuff. Every county that matters.
Have to add to this review a couple years later. They only get better. Their outrage and guests echo conscious people’s mood very well.
