What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am always anxious to listen to this podcast. Hearing Shapiro, Knowles and Klavan interact is fun! Walsh acts like he merely deigns to talk to us. But with the others, I know I will laugh at least once. I have enjoyed all their guests except Ben Domenech. I don’t care for him. Overall, though, it’s well worth the time!

Iwsotgog · May 2026

I enjoy hearing the discussions of these pundits especially the stance of the Iran War and some pop culture references. These guys can have debates amicably which is refreshing to hear this approach is still live and well.

Loco2084 · Jul 2026

I’m so pleased to have found this podcast. This is a great combination of contributors. While there are so many podcasters out there I really appreciate the informative viewpoints and I think Michael does an impressive Johnny Cash impersonation!

listener ces · Feb 2026

The ad breaks are atrocious. If you can even call them “breaks”. The hosts will stop in the middle of a conversation to pitch some product. It’s a terrible way to do ads because it kills the momentum of their debates and discussions. I get it, the show needs to make money, but there has to be a better format for ads that is less obtrusive.
