Customer Reviews
Tired of UK commentators making lazy assessments of US politics
Francis said that Kamala Harris was “decisively defeated” in the 2020 primary. It shows that he doesn’t really understand US primary politics. It sounds like he watched FOX news for 5 minutes to find out what’s going on in presidential politics in the United States. For someone who makes a point of being that pedantic, I’d appreciate more precision.
Amazing Podcast
It's not only my favorite pod, but an extremely informative one at that. Also, Eldridge Colby is a pathetic windbag. We, NAFO, own him 🐕
Hello from New York.
Best of a bunch of bad options
I was looking for daily news on the Russian-Ukraine war, just to follow what is happening, and this does a decent job in that regard. They are however hopelessly pro-Ukraine, which I’m fine with, but it’s to the point of inserting a bunch of opinion into what should be just straight news instead of saving it for editorials. To be clear, I’m on Ukraines side as well, but facts are facts, and I just want factual information. With that said they’re still the best opinion out there that I’ve heard and not straight propagandist. Unfortunately they do feel the need to follow old and tired traditional news formula of having the boring human interest puff pieces as part of the podcast, thankfully it’s saved for the end of the show. Seriously, who enjoys that stuff? But it’s 2024 and I can just hit next, so thankfully we live in the future. Overall I’d give this podcast a 3.5 rating, which means I like it, but it could easily be a 5-star podcast.
