What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As a young conservative this show was a huge breath of fresh air on my feed. There’s so much misinformation out there these days it’s tough to know who to trust and the host Chad seems to do a great job of sticking to the facts. 5/5 stars!

jchaaa111 · Feb 2022

He is so spot on that I just kept saying, “yes, exactly” the whole show. Well done. I’m glad I found this podcast!!

toofgirl10 · Mar 2022

As a Gay conservative I’ve been looking for a thoughtful, well informed and engaging show that speaks to how an LGBT person fits into today’s conservative movement in America. This is not it. I made the unfortunate decision of listening to the “frontier research into COVID” episode and there was no new research. What it does have is the standard litany of grievances that any other right wing podcast has… criticisms of Bill Gates, Dr. Fauci, the CDC, WHO, WEF repeated by a doctor who has made the rounds of the right wing circuit… surprise, he even sells supplements. I then listened to the most recent episode and it’s just the host going on rants and calling people names. This is not a podcast about LGBT conservatives, it’s a rehash of all the Twitter troll talking points and grievances of the MAGA ecosystem.
