Tangle - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Tangle has quickly become my most trusted source of news. In the Tangle newsletter, Isaac does an exceptional job highlighting the best arguments and perspectives from both sides of the aisle on the most important events of the day. He goes above and beyond in acknowledging his own biases and does his best to minimize their impact on the story. Best of all, the bulk of the newsletter is free to read and free from ads!

Now, I am thrilled to see Tangle expand into the world of podcasts. If you are tired of the partisanship and sensationalism that dominates America’s news cycle, then I think you’ll find Tangle to be a breath of fresh air. I couldn’t recommend Tangle News more highly.

I have been a paid subscriber of the Tangle newsletter for almost a year now and I have truly appreciated every newsletter. I admit, I haven’t been able to truly read- usually I get a few minutes a day to skim and get the highlights. As a working mom of young kids I have very little time to sit down and read, so having the newsletter available in a podcast is a GAME CHANGER. I’m able to listen in the morning when getting ready for work, or on my commute, or in the car shuttling kids to and from appointments/school.

I appreciate the both sides approach so much because I feel I have better understanding of a side’s differing opinion. I feel more educated and less angry because I can start to understand rationale. I don’t have to agree with either side, or I can agree with one (and sometimes it flips). I also really like hearing the “my take” section. Thank you for your work!

I’d gotten to the point where I had pretty much given up reading / listening to the news because it was so biased and polarized and I could feel it impacting my mental health. Then a friend recommended the Tangle newsletter. I’m now informed but in a balanced way that lets me truly understand issues and come to my own conclusion vs. one that “my tribe” is trying to scare me into. This is what journalism was meant to be. Thank you, Isaac!

Isaac does deeper-dive analyses on one major headline each day, presenting facts, known liberal and conservative spin, and his own opinion where he acknowledges his own biases. It has made me feel like I have the full context in about 10-20 minutes. Tangle is overall just rational. While I don’t always agree with Isaac’s Take, I always respect where he is coming from and understand his logic. 10/10. Recommend.

Otherwise a 5 star podcast. I love Isaac’s willingness to consider all viewpoints. That said, Bill O’Reilly has earned a well deserved exile in the wilderness. Between the credible reports of serial sexual exploitation and his dated retrograde conservative viewpoints, he doesn’t merit time on this highly credible podcast. There are a multitude of modern conservative thinkers who are much less morally bankrupt. Please do better.

I’m glad to be a new subscriber to the pod and newsletter but PLEASE SLOW DOWN. The reason people are commenting that John sounds like AI is because he does, and he speaks way too quickly. What you guys are doing is fantastic work so please slow down your speech - or at least point me to the half-speed button on my phone :)
