Customer Reviews
Great way to get to know who the politicians are
C-SPAN's style is very spartan. The interviewer is truly neutral, there's no special effects, no ads, and the intro and outro are very brief- and it's extremely content dense. In other words, it's what journalism should be. This barebones format shows you the politicians as they are, not as the producers want you to see them. The only problem is that sometimes the podcasts won't download-some sort of technical problem, I guess
Great!
Excellent tool to stay informed and listen tou your own elected officisls in DC.
