While everything you wrote today is true, you missed one key thing: the quality of the writing in the bulwark, led by you, is superb. Thank you for starting this thing of ours.

My husband and I frequently drive between Philly and Northern Michigan, we have homes in both places. I literally save up episodes of the Bulwark, TNL and the Secret Pod for us to listen to on both drives. Thank you so much for helping us keep our sanity these past years.

I want to say too that the PODCASTING (for me) is daily listening, because it's excellent, and is only getting better. Every.Single.Day.

Same, although I do miss тАЬBeg to DifferтАЭ. It was good to hear differing opinions on a single show on a variety of topics.

Same, I look forward to running my errands so I can listen to that dayтАЩs podcast(s) of the day.

I cannot agree with this more. I actually cited, in an academic paper, a Bulwark article--JVL's Emergency Triad "The American Age is Over." I generally tend to avoid citing non-academic articles, aside from the occasional newspaper article for a narrow, purely factual point (snooty of me, I know). But JVL's article made such a good and relevant point, was sufficiently sourced, and impacted my thinking so much on the research I was doing that I had to include it for intellectual honesty. That is not something that is true of virtually any other political magazine.

JVLтАЩs тАЬThe American Age is OverтАЭ is a keeper for me. It affected me deeply, too.

JVL : you nailed it. YouтАЩve helped me feel good again about my pursuit of a BA in JRN when I was 48. So yes I am one of the 100000 members of this community! Love the Bullwark buddies!
