Redacted News

I would give it 5 stars but sometimes the language can be a little rough. I like what they talk about and most of it is not covered by main streamed media. My husband teaches government and he likes hearing what Redacted has to say about different topics. Great show.

Great show! Actual honest journalism. Love that they don't bend the knee to mainstream narratives and call balls and strikes fairly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I’m very impressed by this team of journalists who do their homework to bring the best report of the news. I pan across a large number of news sources and find that they present facts without all the FLUFF and longgggggg suffering ads and jibber jabber that I can hardly tolerate. Sometimes I have to get through 25 minted of ego driven talk To get 5 minutes of real meat. I’ve stopped following several who talk to themselves and treat it like a hobby. Here you get ALL the meat right there. I get the ads are needed, but as authentic journalists Clay and Natalie are brief and targeted professionals. I appreciate it greatly as I don’t have time for fluff. Also, please share Natalie’s professional background and the whole team. As a woman, I want to see more authentic unbiased female journalists.You all are true professionals. As a marketing person, I’d suggest you all, like a small handful of others have a direct to the point news product.The rest are truly “jibber jabber” citizen journalism. Thank you for serving filet mignon of truth bombs every single show!

If you want facts and not fiction Redacted is one of the best podcasts to get your news from. I listen to a handful who report real news and this is one of my favorite podcasts. I used to watch Clayton back in his Philly days and when I found this podcast I was curious because of Clayton. Glad I found Natali and Clayton!

I’ve long thought that Clayton and Natalie are amazing. They make a great news team. I don’t listen that often anymore, though, because every single podcast title is “hair on fire, buy gold or die penniless, the world is ending right this second” dramatic. Their lead stories are great, but I’ve lost confidence in them as a news team after endless overblown episode titles. It seems gimmicky, like clickbait. It is harder to trust them because of this. Yes, there are a lot of things going terribly wrong in our world. Yes, there are endless reasons to be very concerned about the future. That doesn’t mean that the worst possible thing is imminent, every single day. You can cover the news without the clickbait titles.

I found the show hosted by Clayton and Natali to be disappointingly biased. It lacked balanced perspectives and often leaned towards sensationalism, rather than providing thoughtful analysis. The hosts appeared more focused on promoting their own viewpoints, rather than fostering productive discussions. Despite their frequent assertion that “we have no agenda,” it’s clear that everyone has some kind of bias. I wish Clayton and Natali were more transparent about theirs. As expatriates, they may harbor some resentment towards their home country, America. However, it’s important to remember that America is not the sole source of all global issues. In many of their stories, they portray the US Government as the omnipresent “Boogie Man,” with everyone else cast as the victim. While they do cover news stories that aren’t always mainstream, they often invite the same guests to discuss the same topics. This would be acceptable if there were diverse opinions on subjects like Ukraine, China, or Russia. Overall, the listening experience was less than satisfactory due to these factors. I hope for more balanced and varied content in the future.
