  1. This episode was the worst I have heard in terms of trying to be bipartisan…it was completely one-sided and biased. A number of episodes have made me question the claim of balance, but this one smashed any credibility to that claim.

    1. That’s a fair critique, and something we’re working on improving. Starting with next week’s interview (my talk with political scientist Jacob Hacker about income insecurity) we’ll be bringing in a conservative co-host for a post-interview critique to bring more balance to things. (We’ll do the same when we have a conservative host interviewing a conservative person / people). Thanks for taking the time to comment. – Mike
