Gave 4 stars because of the delayed loading hours even days later. Otherwise Deadline White House is my FAVORITE! Nicole is Fantastic! She is on point, her guests are knowledgeable and I really feel like she gets at the issue and calls it for what it is. Great stuff!!

Worth it so much · Jun 2026

Deadline White House is the only news/politics podcast I listen to these days. Comprehensive analysis, opinions, and dialogue. I appreciate Nicole Wallace’s insight, and the thoughtful intelligence she offers in both query and response. Now, if we could just get the podcasts in a more timely manner, things could be perfect!

Beatnic5054 · May 2026

Nicole Wallace has great guests and facilitates great dialogues. It’s obvious that her guests enjoy being on her show. Kudos to Michael Steele today, bringing up the internalized misogyny that makes having a woman president so challenging to many people (men and women alike). We need to acknowledge this more.

jomopembo · Sep 2024

I’ve had to cut my news intake because all the political hate spewed by some politicians. I can trust Nicole Wallace to provide the behind the scenes details without ugly vitriol you get from many sources. I am so thankful to you and your team for providing true fair and balanced news, not empty propaganda. I respect Ms Wallace for remaining a good person in an acidic business. You give me hope!

ranger62 · Sep 2024

Love this program. I listen daily and can’t wait to push play, each workday, however, there’s been no episode for the past two days

Still not hip · Mar 2026

Is there no one else you can find to fill in for Nicole until she returns? I have tried to stick it out, but Alicia Menendez just doesn’t strike the right tone . Listening to Nicole is so relaxing; she talks with guests like they are discussing politics over dessert. Alicia is just too over-the-top; she tries too hard. I’m sorry to have to say this because I’m sure she has worked hard to keep the show going for all of us, but it’s not even close.
