Andrea Chalupa does an excellent job cutting through the noise and focusing on what’s essential. I never miss an episode! Thank you for all that you do, Gaslit Nation team!

Democracy Defender · Feb 2024

Extremely important well researched independent journalism. I’ve learned so much through this show !

Soulsonic1234 · Apr 2023

I have listened to many episodes and have yet to catch the hosts short or exhibiting bias. They have exposed the rot in America and how our politicians and institutions have been compromised. It’s depressing because it’s true. But democracy is fatiguing and we must become informed and soldier on.

2AD · Mar 2023

I’m mostly aligned with the views of the hosts, but it gets really hard to listen to a podcast when the tone is so frantic and hyperemotional. You cover tough topics for a living, enough of the sputtering and screaming please. It dilutes your message and drives listeners away from important conversations. Well placed and appropriate emotions can be very effective and humanizing, but when a host has a mental breakdown every 3rd sentence I just…have to shut it off. Sorry guys.

Tartarsauce007 · Oct 2023

The production on this is beyond subzero quality. You hear people opening and closing doors and mashing their food with a fork. It’s hilariously bad. The content is fine. Sometimes a bit dramatic but overall a good message. It’s just hard to listen to.
