The Gist

For thirty minutes each day, Pesca challenges himself and his audience, in a responsibly provocative style, and gets beyond the rigidity and dogma. The Gist is surprising, reasonable, and willing to critique the left, the right, either party, or any idea.

Here’s a picture of me!

I have a giant bald head and giant arms. I will look like a gorilla. This is good. People will see this picture and think..”my new favorite podcast!” He’s a centrist! It’s reasonable! Donald Trump is bad sort of? I love his hair it’s beautiful. The self satisfied smile? It’s beautiful. I love you hero.
Great daily pod
Jan 26
Lots of different perspectives. Fast-paced, funny, smart, cheerful, playful, short. I like the guests. I like that I don’t agree with every single thing. I like that it’s daily.
Awful lurch to right
Mar 22
You have become akin to Chappelle and Maher with your lurch to the right (no it is you and not the rest of society). Your obsession with transgender athletes and “woke” issues is disgustingly predictable for downloads.
Libertarians - ugh
Mar 7
I truly want to understand libertarian philosophy but can’t see beyond a juvenile seeming view. Liz Wolfe talks about DOGE taking care of the low-hanging fruit - but then acknowledges the problem with firing probationary employees - so what are the low-hanging fruit they took care of? They’re tossing the beautiful fruit into the gutter! Liz Wolfe really needs to do more research: the point of the job protections in the public sector is that an employee is not fearful of doing their work in a way that might be unpopular with powerful private sector players, and even unpopular with their own managers. The job protections allow employees to expose problems and not fear retaliation. Has Liz Wolfe spent any time understanding how the government works? This “smaller is better” is some opinion without a true point: what’s small enough? What’s the right size? If each additional IRS employee brings in a huge multiple of their salary by enforcing tax regulations then why should there be fewer IRS employees? Intellectually half-baked.
