Customer Reviews
Suderman is sooo long winded…
This podcast is wonderful, unique commentary and insights, great dynamics between the regular panel, but man Peter Suderman makes it difficult to listen to sometimes.
He is so long winded, no sense of what it might be like to listen to him bloviate as an audience member. Not to mention the jokes; bad, painful, sad. Remember when Krusty the Clown counseled us that puns are lazy writing?
Whenever other panelists answer a question or share “what they’ve been consuming” it relatively the same length, perhaps even more brief if it’s a simple movie or book review. When Sudermans turn is up prepare yourself for a minutes long monologue. And if it happens to be about superheroes or video games I highly suggest you find something to bite down on for 5 minutes.
If you have ever received a pedantic lecture on how the first Star Wars isnt actually the first Star Wars after casually mentioning it at a cocktail party then you’ll know exactly the vibe of Sudermans soliloquy’s. Its like he has a automatic spring-loaded “actually” up his sleeve ready to fire into any gap in the conversation.
I wish I could say he keeps me from listening to the podcast but overall it’s pretty great. It would be wonderful if they gave him a timer.
The Reason Roundtable podcast
Best podcast on Itunes. I am costantly checking in on Mondays to see if it has dropped.
Reason is the reason
I give this podcast 2 stars for Nick’s sake. I don’t agree with half of what he says but at least he pushes back against the narrative. And they wonder why the LP has had trouble gaining national traction. Look no further than this podcast. For someone who became interested in libertarian principles because of Ron Paul, this podcast is useful only as a counter narrative. And it wouldn’t kill them to dial down the smugness (or maybe it would).
