What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really enjoyed your interview with Megan McCain. Civility and respect between two people with opposing views was so refreshing. I did find it interesting and a bit irritating that Megan kept bringing up the importance of marital fidelity in our elected leaders considering her father cheated on his wife with her mother. All in all it was a great interview.

tomi2much · Dec 2024

I’ve been listening to the podcast for a few weeks now & am enjoying it. The episode with Megan McCain was a good one, I must admit. It was nice to hear 2 people with opposing views have such a good conversation. While I don’t agree with many of McCain’s opinions, I appreciate that she was willing to come on & talk to Katie. And Katie, nice job on gently pushing back on some comments but doing it in a respectful way. I’m still struggling greatly with the election results but it is good to know there are a few Republicans who continue to speak out against trump.

lee44! · Nov 2024

Probing questions along with keen insights from Katie and her guests. Gets to the heart of complicated issues with intelligence and wit. A must listen for those who seek truth in journalism.
