Customer Reviews
Behind the Curtain
A great look at who these political figures are as people.
This podcast gives you a glimpse behind the curtain mandated by modern media and political rancor.
I just finished the Paul Ryan interview and was pleasantly surprised by his non-political speak. I disagree with him on every issue, but it was nice to get a glimpse of his human-side.
No longer a listener
I expected a liberal bias, but never a full blown candidate bias. I can trust the programming of overly biased outlets, it's a shame this has great potential
Thank you Glenn Thrush
We need more of these kinds of thoughtful, informative, civil discussions. American politics are unwatchable for me but this podcast gives me some of what I’m looking for as I try to understand the landscape. I’d never heard of Glenn Thrush before but I’m glad to know of him now. Keep ‘em coming please, even after the election.
