Customer Reviews
Thanks, Slate!
All I ever wanted from a podcast! I can’t wait for this one to begin (AND END).
Great analysis of a head-scratching candidacy
Insights into the phenomenon that is the Trump presidential campaign in convenient segments of approx. fifteen minutes each.
Medicine for the boggled mind
My brain is simply unable to understand Trumpism, let alone why such a critical mass of my fellow countrymen and women could possibly visualize this creature as our president . I appreciate Weinberg’s attempt to explain this phenomenon. I, too, hope that this podcast is short-lived….
