Political Beatdown with Michael Cohen and Ben Meiselas - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Initially I was skeptical about checking out this podcast, but have come to really admire Michael Cohen’s work. He has put great effort into exposing the weird and dangerous behavior of Donald Trump. He knows Trump; once his “fixer,” under his spell, admittedly, he learned painfully, that he had fixed his star to a man with no regard for anyone but himself. Painful lessons learned, & no saint himself, he does what he can—and more—to warn the rest of us the dangers of believing in this wolf in sheep’s clothing, who would sell his soul to the devil, except that he is so sick he likely regards himself more highly than Lucifer!
Why believe a man who lied and cheated and bullied others for Trump? Because in doing so, he lost nearly everything—his law license, and even his freedom, but shows real courage in finding himself—and fighting back to warn the rest of us not to be taken in by this would-be dictator, who continues to hold power over some of this country’s most powerful political figures, in paradoxical Orwellian ways I cannot explain. Well Worth your time to hear what Cohen has to say!

This podcast offers unique insight into DT. But Michael Cohen talks too much, is loud and his voice is annoying. He’s repetitive and doesn’t give guests enough voice without interrupting them. I appreciate the content but can only take so much Cohen before I have to turn it off. Ben, on the other hand, has a great, easy voice, no annoyance there. If Cohen could tone it down, it would really improve the show. Also, don’t have Cohen do the ads. Again, too much annoying voice.

Michael Cohen, who worked for Trump and went to prison for it gets a chance to vent on the other side of the screen Ben Meisslas, a law, professor and civil rights activist, provides factual content and context.

It’s a good combination. I routinely learn insider stuff I didn’t know about The Donald.

First, you guys absolutely rock political talk! I literally take notes on your talking point. You are my arsenal for those times co-workers want to sell me MAGA propaganda. Keep it up, there are very few news outlets that deliver truth and facts, we need you!

As an independent voter and a long those listener, I used to really love their balance takes and Michael’s intimate knowledge of the Trump eco system. Its always neat to hear his perspective however, the more and more we get closer to the election, the more wild the propaganda they say is with so many wild predictions as if they are fact.

Claiming things (that will never happen) will be brought up by the next administration, they are turning into exactly the extreme right and are no longer the balanced folks I used to listen to. I guess somehow they think we haven’t already experienced the 45 administration, we know what to expect. I guess what I’m trying to say is if you are looking for good episodes check out some of their first ones, if you want really good propaganda check out the recent ones. This 1 year ago I would have given 5 starts, but for me I’m no longer subscribing for updates.
Hopefully the future will be focused on unity and truthfulness and transparency, and not taking the same style approach of propaganda that extreme right does. They are so smart and have potential for so much. All of this coupled with ad reads for snake oil type products has lead me to lose all faith in the medias touch network.
