Loving your conversational style telling me it’s going to be okay. I’m catching up on your episodes when Trump first came to the White House and I can’t believe the Americans voted for him again. He makes our politicians look like angels.
Thank you

Good podcast - poor understanding

09/11/2018

Random Find

I like the podcast but I really think they would benefit from a better understanding of the America electorate, how it works, and it’s history - they are commenting on what they hear on the news and it is a good cathartic listen in that regard but the conclusions they draw from it frequently misunderstand and misrepresent the reality. The narrative is typically told from a half understood “inside the beltway” Washington perspective which is fine I guess but they would probably spend there time talking about how they feel as opposed to trying to make and analysis and getting key facts wrong

Foreign Policy editor Amelia Lester reassures her Australian friend Mia Freedman that despite a bankrupt, washed up reality star with a criminal record leading the free world things might be... fine.
