    Same narrative different show
    This is the same song and dance as every other mainstream news which shouldn’t be a surprise based on who pushes this podcast.

    Good podcast, disappointing VP debate episode
    I generally really enjoy this podcast and its rather lighthearted take on the election, but I am mostly rating because I was frustrated with the recent episode on the VP debate. The emphasis was on how Vance won on points, which I think we can all agree with, and Walz “stumbled” through his answers. However, your average voter is not a debate judge and is more concerned with the content. The fact that Vance’s answers were primarily lies, no matter how well presented, was not adequately addressed. I understand that debates are not judged on facts so much as your ability to argue your point, but this is not a debate contest, it is an election, and acknowledging when one side lies in order to win should not be overlooked.

    Cannot continue listening to the “both sides” reporting
    I liked this podcast until the recent episode where Harris’ legitimate policy goals were summarily bashed while Trump’s were talked about like they are serious. The guys lies as easily as breathing and I’m tired of journalists treating him like he’s anything but an aspiring autocrat. I was so disgusted that I can’t listen anymore. Almost want to cancel my WAPO subscription. I’m just over it.

    Factual Political Podcast - Refreshing
    If you want to listen to the fun insider campaign chatter that’s measured and factual, then this is the right podcast. So good. So interesting. And particularly fun as a Minnesotan.

    Excellent
    If the insights are very illuminating and interesting. They are far more complex then what is normally discussed. I enjoy hearing the discussion.

    Refreshing - not a usual word for politics
    I know Martine and Elahe are great from Post Reports so it’s been fun to hear them a little looser. They seem to actually get along with Aaron who somehow makes politics palatable. He and the other political reporters care and know their stuff and they’re not trying to out talk each other. I like hearing Josh and Colby and others I read. I’ve learned a lot and will keep listening. The panda diss may have been too far though! Thanks for adding some fun to the mix.

    Misnamed podcast
    Should be called The Trump Campaign Moment because that’s all they talk about. Boring
  • Fast_Homer
    saved me time and easy listen
    during the week don’t want to spend time reading about politics but still want to know what’s going on, as much as it gives me anxiety. Substantive but conversational
