His podcast has gotten a lot worse over the years. It feels over-produced now and he doesnt have a lot of interesting guests on anymore. 90% of it is useless policy wonks no one has heard of pumping their latest shitty book no one will read.

Andrew Sullivan (Dish Cast) is doing a much better job and isnt associated with a main stream media org.

Klein is a smart liberal journalist and Sullivan is a smart conservative journalist. They both get guests from think tanks/mainstream media/academia. They both book guests that are on book tours. The distinction you're making is not really true.
Andrew Sullivan isnt conservative in 2025
I actually enjoy some of the wonkishness. Hearing a good interview with people who are experts in a particular field is a great way to learn.
