Customer Reviews
Usually great, but Mara Liasson makes it worse
I adore this podcast, but find myself having a hard time when Mara Liasson is on. This last episode on 7/16 out the nail in the coffin for me. She talks over everyone, speaks with such patronizing tones to her colleagues, and overall makes it an uncomfortable experience. I appreciate good dialogue and back and forth, but there’s no conversation when she’s on. The political state is laden with enough anger and vitriol, I’d rather have an actual conversation where I can get the facts and hear EVERYONE’s point of view, instead of Liasson just bulldozing every point with her opinion. Keep up the great work to everyone else!
Biased much
I stopped listening to this podcast about a year and a half ago they were so far to the left it was driving me crazy. But I decide to try them again it sounds like they are totally in love with Joe Biden. They don’t even try to pretend that they aren’t hard-core liberals/socialist.
Tee
I’m someone who appreciates Mara Liasson’s strong recognizable voice on each political topic. Her input and discussion tends to lead you into critical thinking about the issues as opposed to group think. I do not think she’s rude but only passionate and l tune in just to hear her speak.
