Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff - Podcast Rankings and reviews

As an Iraq veteran myself, I was vaguely aware of IAVA and Paul, but it wasn't until the past few weeks that I really paid attention and got spun up on all the good being done. I appreciate this podcast because Paul's analysis, perspective and articulation hit right in that sweet spot between freedom, responsibility, and humanitarianism - all reasons I joined after 9/11. Politics in this country has deteriorated to a bewildering state where it's easy to think the crazies outnumber everyone else on all sides. Luckily though, as the old cadence says, "...I finally found a home..." the first time I listened to Independent Americans. Thank you for carving out this space.

This is a great show for political Independents. I found the show a few months ago and it’s one of my favorite podcasts. There’s no spin from the 2 party system. Just great guests, interviews, and independent insights about this country and where we’re headed. I highly recommend this show.

Downloaded the episode to listen to his interview with Christine Todd Whitman. Glad he got the explanation of the Forward Party goals that he had been searching for. Really liked the soccer team analogy. I appreciate that there are podcasts speaking to the issues that non-partisan voters care about. Best of luck to you, sir!

Poignant positive but realistic views on the world. Great guests and a thoughtful host. Worth listening to regardless of “which team you’re on”

This is the best I have found for an independent political podcast. Good guests, reasonable production value. I listen to every episode, but I’m also still searching for other sources. I’m glad you recognize it is “none of the above” for independents. But this week’s monologue was a full on apology for Democrats. No where near “none of the above.” By the sound of it, Rs have all the stupid, and all the stuff we need to be scared of, and Ds just have a branding problem? Come on. You may need to lean conservative to be afraid of Ds, but it is not that hard to find stupid. Please try to balance your criticisms.
