The Conversation with Dasha Burns - Podcast Rankings and reviews

If you want to understand how policymaking and politics really works Playbook Deep Dive is the podcast. Guests are frequently not the most famous politicos that you see regularly on mainstream media but rather politicians, staffers, civil servants, and consultants that are doing much of the real policymaking work. And Lizza is consistently amazing in his questioning to get down to what the real situation is and how the process is working (or not working); and often learning a small bit of personal information that humanizes his guests. I consistently look forward to the pod dropping every Friday.

Wow. Thank you SO MUCH for minimizing ads and placing them at end of episodes! And for delivering such excellent coverage in this and your briefer daily politics podcast, also new to me. Both so smart and helpful. Thank you!

I look forward to hearing this podcast every week and am v rarely disappointed. Even on topics which have been over traffic’ed, the take is insightful and listen-worthy.

I absolutely love this podcast. Always makes me think and see things from a different perspective. I always learn something- even if I don’t agree with all the guests it is good to hear more than one perspective

Some interesting interviews and discussion, but it feels increasingly like a platform for right leaning politicians and figures to normalize behavior that’s increasingly more partisan and disconnected from reality. If you have limited time for political podcasts, look elsewhere.

I listened to “How not to get fooled …” While I appreciated the insights and civil discourse, I do have a criticism.

I think all three speakers continued to normalize 45. They kept talking about his “antics.” That’s irresponsible of anyone on a public forum to do, thus the lower rating.

45 has engaged in racism, bigotry, xenophobia and lying. Calling it anything else normalizes him and fools listeners.
