Listen.
A whole bunch of podcasts you listen to today do not exist without Another Round.
Period.
Period.
They were, for a lot of us, a kind of North Star: actually LOL hilarious and bracing and sharp.
I still remember them asking Hillary Clinton in 2015 if she and her husband fucked things up for Black people with their policies in the 1990s. They literally phrased it that way.

That is not how that question would be posed on, say, NPR. I think it was @lindaholmes who said it, but there is a real value to asking her that question in that way.
@lindaholmes The way they talked about mental health — and encouraged people to take steps toward attending to their own — was some of the most casually subversive service journalism you’ll ever hear.
@lindaholmes They made the show sound easy — part of that is Tracy and Heben’s chemistry and actual genius — but they all worked and prepared so unbelievably hard. Every time I got to see it up close, i was in in awe.
@lindaholmes They are who I want to be when I grow up.
@lindaholmes You will meet lots of people who are funny OR brilliant OR creative OR gracious with their time, but you won’t often meet people who are all of those things at the same time. And you will *never* find a *whole-ass team* of people like that.
@lindaholmes So many of us owe so much to the Pod Squad, personally and professionally. This news is 🚮, but they’re all going to be our bosses one day, and I personally can’t wait.
