Do you love hearing milquetoast mainstream liberal opinions in an echo chamber? Do you love hearing from aging folks who work in Academia and Albany’s professional upper class who probably make way more money then you and are insufferably smug? Do you hate hearing from people who have a variety of different view points from you, like let’s say a young progressive or maybe a libertarian? Then this show is the perfect fit! From running a discredited story against Alex Morse to carry water for the corrupt establishment democrat Richard Neal to more recently kissing the behinds of the Israeli government as they carry out ethnic cleansing in Gaza there is no shortage of the worst takes the Democratic Party (and the occasional establishment NY Republican) in the NY tri-state area has to offer. There are a few guests and commentators that I’ve liked for the most part (RoseMary Armao) but they are few and far between. I mostly listen to see what the viewpoint of the democratic establishment is on an given issue, and to listen to the letters to the panel where they often get trounced and then are either silent or stammer on as they try to find a way to sound “nuanced”. Wouldn’t recommend listening to this program unless you love establishment democrats/ politicians and their viewpoints.

Excellent discussions on today’s panel. One of your best.

The show is great, Rosemary Armao is a treasure. I listen wherever I am in the world, helps keep me sane.

Wonderful panel. I love the depth of coverage on specific issues with a variety of perspective from the group

I look forward to snow days and long weekends when I can listen to the panel live. But I am thankful for the podcasts though I must admit that I listen at 1.5 speed so that I can fit in.

Wonderful to be back. Love all of your discussions and contributors.

The ONLY reason I listen is when Rosemary is on.

I try to listen with enthusiasm but it’s just so bland. Similar to the capital district on the surface, sterile, institutional (state capital/SUNY). Armchair experts, academics, centrists. Feels smug and wish they could get more diversity on the show. Tired of listening to joe wrangle Allen from another rant. I’m hopeful for the future. However it feels like For the round table, life reflects architecture. We are listening to the manifestation of the boring faceless oppressive Empire State Plaza and SUNY Albany. I hope they mix it up and realize boomers and honest weight aging hippies won’t alway la be here to fill the lockbox

I don’t live in the listening area but got the bug listening to this channel while working in the Albany, NY area. I totally respect the many different and informative view of the panel. Haven’t missed an episode since!

I love the Round Table. I don’t live in the WAMC listening area, so I listen to the podcast. I now value it above other news roundup talk shows, because the panel is not afraid to take a stand and express their opinions. Other shows now seem namby-pamby.

I can’t stand listening to WAMC because it seems like the Round Table is always on. How about hosts with a little more diversity so they can ask better questions? That would be “really cool”.
