I'm not necessarily saying he was their lapdog, but the quality of 538 gradually declined.

Of course, but his quality met the standards and desires of the Disney Corp.
They were his piper, always calling the tune.

I listen to their podcast still but yes it’s not as good anymore

I’m enjoying! Is podcast On the Edge too
reply
I haven't listened to his new podcast, but I really enjoyed his 538 podcasts back before ABC bought it.
reply
Yup, he openly admits it, too. Working with Disney wasn't great
