Saw you on Bill Maher for first time and immediately liked your perspective. Great interview with Scaramucci (who turns out to be an ok guy!).

I enjoy this show

While I can tell the host definitely leans liberal which doesn’t align with me exactly, I think she’s pretty fair and she has a wide range of guests on. I see other reviews bad mouthing it, but I believe that’s because they’re people that are so full on democrats or so full on republicans that you couldn’t ever make them happy unless everything you say and everyone you have on aligns with their beliefs. World needs more shows like this

Meh

Kind of surprised that the Ringer is willing to put its name of this podcast. Definitely not up to the generally high standards of Bill Simmons projects.

Tara is ill informed (as evidenced by the number of times guests have to correct her on basic facts), not a good interviewer and just generally out of her depth. Political podcasts are a dime a dozen and there are plenty of better ones out there to spend your time on.
