Power Lines with Oliver Darcy and Jon Passantino - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Some good insights here, but way too much patting of one’s own back. It must be incredibly frustrating not to get full credit for your scoops. But constantly referencing that and saying “we were the first…” gets tiresome, even if true. If someone is listening to your podcast, then they likely already consider your reporting and analysis worthwhile. Focus more on that and less on getting props. The latter will come in time.

This duo was right on top of the story today of the puzzling, no shocking, cancellation of Colbert’s show. They seem to be plugged in to media stories and have the depth that good storytelling requires.

The 1st episode could have been one third shorter. There’s repetition of commentary and information, and some speculation of outcomes not apparently based on sources. Since you are not media personalities, it’s early to expect the listener to sit through too much opinion and personal references. I’m sure it will improve.
