The Political Life - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Entertaining host, good chemistry with each interviewee, and a good diversity of backgrounds.

If I had one suggestion, it would be to spend more time on the “what works and what doesn’t” part of the show. We spend a reasonable amount of time on the “people, how they got into it, and what their jobs entail,” but an extra 5 or so minutes on how people mobilize stakeholders or come up with an effective communication strategy would make this an even better podcast. When you are short on this last, vital subject, the show can feel a bit more like a showcase of the interviewee and their organization than a dialogue on the industry.

Edit (09-04-2018): Great to see the above feedback be heard and used in this latest episode. 5 stars.

Great niche podcast for anyone interested in learning more about lobbying and government relations work in the US. The host is always enthusiastic and steers the conversations well.

Great show with always insightful content. Jim and his guests have aided in inspiring me to pursue a career in lobbying. This is one of my favorite podcasts, by far!

There is no doubt Jim has created and maintained the definitive podcast for government and public affairs professionals. As an industry insider, he knows what questions to ask and has built a vast network of professionals to provide fresh content on an evergreen basis - perhaps the hardest part of sustaining a podcast. - Jonathan Kilman?
