What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Chris Rufo is an excellent reporter, researcher, and author, so I was beyond delighted to learn that he had a new podcast. The best thing about the show is that Rufo and his very smart cohost Lomez, though impassioned, manage to provide rational, insightful, and intellectually curious perspectives without incoherence, conspiracy, or appeals to emotion. All analyses are sober; they are clearly "thinking men". Another bonus: they are millennials (b. '81 -'95). As an '89 Millennial, it is so refreshing to listen to the ideas of a relevant generation who understand the frustrations and crises facing younger people and what is at stake for the future of right-of-center America. This show feels important. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this podcast.

Excellent podcast for people who want smart and informed analysis. No nonsense approach mixed with some lighter banter. We have to get serious about moving our country forward. We need bold leadership and voices supportive of bold action. These guys are providing just that.

Rufo & Lomez is the breath of fresh air from the New Right conservative talk radio has been needing for decades. Smart political and cultural commentary. Very enjoyable listening.
