Love the JackPod

4 июн.

I’ve loved listening to Jack for years on On Point. At one point he disappeared as a regular guest so I was delighted when the JackPod started. I’ve listened to every episode. Love your take on most things, Jack. Love you too, Magna.

I only listen to the JackPod because Jack Beatty is that good. Combine him with Meghna and these episodes are real powerhouses. She’s incredibly bright and insightful. And Jack, well, they don’t make ‘em like him anymore. I can’t recommend these two strongly enough! I really should start listening to the other On Point episodes that I’m sure are excellent, but, ya know, there’s only so much time and I have to get my Pivot and Carville Political War Room podcasts in too! What’s a fella supposed to do?
Mediocre these days.

Show used to have such interesting topics. It seems like everyday is related to the topic of AI. It's enough already.
China EVs and US Auto market

Enjoyed the May 29th show, but the most important thing about US automakers is that they focus on pickup trucks and Large SUVs. They long ago gave up competing for sedans and small SUVs to Hyundai, Kia, Honda, and Toyota.
