How many shows should I wait for?

Hey there BP, I am one of the many humans that made the choice to subscribe to your show to contribute to what I thought was semi unbiased news that allowed for nuance and discussion. Additionally, I almost enjoy the extremely mild convenience of getting an email with a link to your whole show in one place. My question? ...How many shows should I allow to go by without you guys addressing some (even one) of the (breaking) points of contention that are constantly popping up in the AMA questions before I unsubscribe? Hint for one of the many of the Breaking Points --> Please review and discuss (in detail) the data that RFK has used to form his stance on vaccines and any other topic you guys question his stance on. Might even be cool if you could get some experts with differing interpretations of the aforementioned data to debate and discuss on the show... Anyway... I will tentatively answer my own question for you. More than 2... But less then 10. I am pretty tolerant and want to give you time to properly address things, but I have limited patience. For the sake of your channel and credibility... Please put resources towards addressing all the elephants in your room before dumping resources on huge TVs for the room. I do not care so much if you have a nice set with all the trinkets that make up a "legit" news station appearance... Content and credibility is key.

Intra Shoring

During your Memorial Day show you covered Intra Shoring. How do you think Intra Shoring will impact Electorally? In other words do you see more states becoming Purple?

Wil You Auction off the Desk

Will you auction off the old desk? I could *really* use a much bigger workspace plus it'd be nice to have a piece of media history on hand. I have about 12' to work with and could definitely afford shipping (or just rent a van and pick it up myself.)

Would you consider a shortened form of the podcast?

Some of us are only able to listen to the podcast for short periods of the day and a shortened form of the podcast, maybe 30 minutes, would be much more digestible. Is this something you would consider providing?

Krystal Clear and Often undeclared Bias

Saagar discloses his relationships each time he covers a race or competitor his friends or close aquamtices are involved in. Krystal Ball, as a political commentator, should disclose the fact that Marianne Williamson officiated her wedding when covering federal politics, especially when the discussion involves Williamson or the political areas she is involved with. This action is imperative to ensure transparency, journalistic integrity, and to avoid any perceived conflicts of interest. By not disclosing this personal connection, audiences may question the impartiality of Ball's commentary or analyses, especially when it pertains to Williamson's policies, viewpoints, or political actions. This disclosure does not necessarily mean that Ball's opinions are biased, but it allows audiences to be fully aware of the context in which her commentary is given, thereby promoting trust and credibility in her analysis. Why doesn't she do this when she is talking about federal politics?
