Fantastic analysis
Her thinking is quick and ties many threads - I sometimes listen to an episode multiple times to get it all in.
Informative
... is an understatement. Marcy is the best, and check her appearances on "Emptywheel" Fridays on the Nicole Sandler show!
How did we get here?
Fantastic (tho painfully real) plumbing through the depths of depravity that, turns out, is now our horrorstory U.S. government. Head-spinning alone how much archival material is blended in to make for a rich audio experience. Thank you for putting this series together as a record of our nightmare.
Ball of Threads is excellent!
The last 2 episodes really bring the series together. The story of Trump/Russia is very dense and complicated, with huge chunks still unknown, and it is, frighteningly, an ongoing problem, as we learn by the day. Thank you, Marcy Wheeler
Not good
Was excited for this but it’s unlistenable. She’s a great writer and I’m in line with her worldview, angles of analysis etc… but this podcast is an Incomprehensible string of sound-ups. Needs a producer to give it form and structure. It’s a mess.
