Customer Reviews
Biased
They say the premise of this show is they ignore the politics of DC for more local politics but what that ends up meaning is they ignore any large stories that look bad for the current administration and this latest special has confirmed that. For the Democrats they only talked to liberal activists, and for republicans they only talked to trump advisors and sympathizers. That is not going out of the bubble, that is staying squarely in the swamp.
Smart, wide-ranging conversations
It's great to finally see a new organization taking advantage of its reach by including local reporters in the national political conversation -- not just folks in D.C.. This podcast is smart, fun and loaded with great analysis.
Absolutely essential listening
If the most recent election taught us anything, it's that the viewpoints of actual voters are grossly underrepresented in the media. Beyond the Bubble does a fantastic job bringing these perspectives to light, and does so with insightful, sharp, and entertaining commentary. Absolutely essential listening for anyone seeking to gain a true understanding of the American political climate.
