Naomi Klein
There is problem with your view of Taibi. He is a journalist and a muckraker. He tries not to have a political view. He does not support Tucker or Rachel. He is a searcher for the truth with no censorship or bias. You do his very serious work a disservice to paint him with such a broad brush

walker current head of a misnamed group/young americans for freedom fits right into his MO. we in WI had to suffer through too many years of the walker regime in example right to work. that actually means cutting the strength of unions. that lie title has stuck, my co-worker at a union shop never even knew what that meant! this is what those slime ball walker/gop evil wannabe rulers do, they always come up with a title of what they are, do or are going to do that sounds benign but is actually malignant. HATE Walker and his ilk.
Content is a 5 but it rates a 2 due to…
The HOST and his sound engineering. There so many pauses and unnecessary stops and starts along with the fact that it sounds like he is either leaning into the mic, or away from the mic all within the same sentence! The inconsistencies make it very difficult to listen to! He also sometimes speaks so fast that he miss pronounces words and proper names such as “Alexandria Ocasio Cortez”! Surely there is someone at the nation who is more suited to the podcast medium!
