What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I can’t recall how I discovered you guys — but I love your show. Balanced. Informative. No hype or hysteria. And Matt, you are incredibly brave. I recall your testimony before the House committee where the Mad Cow from the Virgin Islands tried to score points and you politely put her in her place. I’m going to subscribe. Been listening for free for a few months. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic show! Great analysis, and hilarious every single time. Happy to see you guys are now making the Monday Live episodes available as podcasts for members too!

Media from a non-partisan angle. Listening to this podcast reminds me how bitter, reactive and partisan cable news is. Matt is a real reporter. I appreciate his work a great deal in 2024 after all the media fraud of the last 10+ years.

Matt and Walt are a great pairing. Interesting, Insightful, Fair and Balanced. So glad I found this podcast!

Just Me - Whoever that is · Dec 2025

Had been a listener for years, but decided to stop. I used to really enjoy Walter’s libertarian and contrarian opinions, but he often just feels like a conservative troll now. Matt spends so much time tip toeing around Water’s opinions that he doesn’t feel like he gets his own point fully across.
