What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m writing to recommend The Federalist Radio Hour. After more than a few years of listening to the podcast, this is my first Rating & Review. Specifically the podcast of July 25, 2024 with host Matt Kittle, Senior Elections Correspondent of The Federalist & guest Dean Ball, research fellow with the Mercatus Center on the Supreme Court's net choice rulings, has prompted me to not only congratulate them, but the entire podcast group for the excellence they have brought to serious, intelligent but understandable thought to the many topics that concern all of us. They have elevated the thinking to a level that has motivated others to do the same. I urge you to join in and be rewarded. Thank you.

Great podcast — Mollie and David have amazing chemistry and excellent taste in music! But please… David, stop saying “What I will say.” It’s such a commentators crutch and you are way above that! Aside from that, you two are the gold standard in podcasting.

I look forward to the podcast every week. Living overseas you are one of my few reliable connections to a sane analysis as to what’s going on in the United States. When I first learned about this podcast, I knew I would enjoy listening to Molly. David though has been a pleasant surprise as I really enjoy his commentary. I just finished listening to the episode regarding Trump‘s choice of Judy Vance. I enjoyed the lively commentary, but Molly please let David finish a thought. You guys are the best. Keep up the good work.

There’s a whole lot of good I can say about David and Mollie’s weekly show of invigorating banter and grounding observations, but I’ll keep this short: When I see the next “You’re Wrong” in my podcast feed midweek I just go, “Ahhhh.” Sanity is so refreshing!
