Politics · From The Bunker
by From The Bunker
In communities across the U.S., from small towns to big cities, there used to be a lot more places like the ol’ neighborhood bar. It was a place you could come after work, to talk with your friends & neighbors about the news of the day, to have a few laughs, and maybe a few drinks. In those days, you could even talk about politics a little bit without causing a bar brawl. These days, the people in our personal communities are often spread from coast to coast and around the world. And while it’s great to see ‘em on social media, it would be better to have a place where the bartenders knew your name, and you could trust the folks in your community would be there with the latest news and drink or two. So we’ve created a place like that here – and you’re invited. Come on in, pull up a chair, grab something to drink, and we’ll get up to speed with the news of the day, at The Politics Bar.

I very much appreciate Jody bringing facts and a ‘this is how it is’ attitude each week. She is truly calming amidst the political hellscape we all find ourselves in.
This is a podcast by a group of friends who have crazy good chemistry and an ability to discuss and debate politics and current events in a most entertaining way. Don't subscribe if you are not a fan of fast-paced discourse by left-leaning but very fair wonks. Do subscribe if you like hearing other opinions and love to laugh. Jody, Nic and Rick (with other regulars) will treat you like friends and family.
Enjoyable podcast as always. Only one complaint: No more food/beverages while on mic please. The crunching, chewing, swallowing, gulping etc is easily picked up by your recording equipment. I have sometimes come across this in other casual conversation & interview podcasts. It's even more annoying & pronounced when one wears ear buds while listening.
Love Jody and the guests but think replacing Sean or making him not the primary would make the show better. He seems privileged and out of touch plus every single episode has multiple basic grammatical errors. He needs to learn when to use “me” vs “I” as he gets this wrong frequently each episode. Also his voice is the only one out of many podcasts I listen to that just grates on me. Sean also pushes the “Bar” of the show to gimmicky. Jody should have the lead on this show. Plus her laugh is adorable.
Jody Hamilton is a delight as she discusses topics of interest of the week. Rick and Dave "Shocket for the Win" are also great contributors to the show. However, they are counterbalanced by a smug, pretentious know-it-all Englishman, Nic Sadler, who makes you want to throw the device on which you are listening through a glass window. It's especially frustrating as he pulls typical conservative talking maneuvers like talking over people to proves he's right even when he's wrong about something.
