Now bear with me and let me explain how I really feel...
This dyed-in-the-wool old Leftie curmudgeon is defiinitely going to miss your wit and grace and utterly fabulous selection of guests - consistently interviewed with intellectual depth, insight, and a POV that is frankly unique and entirely unlikely to be matched by any other podcast…

This dyed-in-the-wool old Leftie curmudgeon is defiinitely going to miss your wit and grace and utterly fabulous selection of guests - consistently interviewed with intellectual depth, insight, and a POV that is frankly unique and entirely unlikely to be matched by any other podcast to which i might tune in.
Bulwark - this puts a tremendous onus upon you all to try and quickly find another voice like Steele's to correct for the preponderance of white folks in your line-up (and, so too MSM in general, of course); which, dare i say? - and still quite thoroughly necessary to say loudly and often! - is a consequence of America's problem of recalcitrant racism. It has been our nation's greatest failing since its founding. There can be no true democracy until we accept and absorb what so much of Michael Steele has been preaching on his podcasts. We need to do better! Diversity is the only way genuinely forward progress can happen for the humam race. Critical Race Theory is real and the Bulwark must not fall into the trap of dismissing what way too many of the vapid media elite have already effectively banned from MSM reporting and analysis, especially on the conservative side. It is MAGA that s the true enemy of the People, not DEI - even despite its sometimes admittedly insipid and wholly myopic practitioners; that's where and why thoughtfully engaged CRT is needed as an evaluative framework! Michael's guests have often been some of the only proponents of keeping CRT a part of the intellectual toolset that every thinking person should be employing; no American citizen should ever leave home without it.
Finally, I have gladly supported and recommended the Bulwark since its inception, alongside the Nation, Mother Jones, ACLU, and any number of Left-of-Center voices and organizations devoted to truth-telling long before the Bulwark's cadre of Reagan Reoublicans began to
see the Light. (I did say above that i am an old Leftie...) I dearly want to continue that supporr but losing Michael Steele from your ranks will certainly cause me to think twice before next year's automatic renewal happens because I believe so strongly that no Fourth Estate enterprise can properly serve its role in ensuring and enhancing America's great and marvelous experiment in democracy unless such efforts include (DEI again!) minority voices every damn day.
Oh Carl I'm laughing because I couldn't figure out what to say here in the comments to express that like oh no, I'm really going to miss the Michael Steele podcast, I always feel better after listening to an episode, I love his laugh and how it reminds me we're all on this crazy train together.........and I come to the comments section and all I can say is thank you Carl for spilling your guts out for me.........Michael's a great guy!
