What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

If you’re looking for unbiased news and analysis of GovCon developments, this is not for you. If you’re looking for a GovCon analysis that stays near the shallow end of big business’s side, then you’ve found your podcast. Often, the speakers are rattling off talking points that just don’t exist in reality anymore (if they ever did). Every now and then you’ll get a thoughtful exchange of ideas that understands that federal procurement involves the government, instead of being two businesses. But those episodes are few and far between.
