Kimberly Atkins Stohr, senior opinion writer for the Boston Globe, joins Chuck to break down how a recent CNN town hall shows that Trump is campaigning for 2024 the same ways he did in 2016 and 2020.
Customer Reviews
Insightful and Interesting…
I have learned more about what Chuck is “binging”, Washington sports teams, and SEC/ ACC rivalries than I ever thought I possible could. Thank god for the 30 second skip button, the show has gone down hill a little in the past year, but still has some good takes once in a while.
Please buy Chuck a Microphone. Otherwise good
Like the long form interviews and deep dives made possible by the podcast format.
But… why do amateur podcasts have better audio quality and better microphones?
STOP INTERRUPTING!
This used to be one of my favorite podcasts and I eagerly tuned in every time there was a new episode. Now it’s unbearable. Chuck does not let his guests get a word in edgewise for all his interrupting. It’s beyond annoying!
You invite interesting and insightful guests but don’t let them express their views. If Chuck wants to speak so much, host a podcast where all you do is speak. Don’t bother with guests.
I’m so disappointed and frustrated. Gone is a valuable and interesting podcast that gave a more centered view of the world.
