What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I look forward to listening to what Rick Wilson has to say about our parties /politics as he knows. The Lincoln project are the good guys, and it is beyond me why the Democrats do not listen to and do what they suggest. I recommend this podcast -- it's authentically patriotic, compassionate & politically savvy. As someone who never took a civics class & ignored politics prior to Trump, I'm grateful for the insight and explanations re: this nightmare

The 6/19/25 episode was the best most insightful explanation of the situation with Iran that I have heard anywhere. What would I do without Rick Wilson’s years of political experience, ability to read the lay of the land and relay it to us in his signature style? Helps keeps me sane in this insane time.

Though I like the show generally the Ben episode suffered from audio glitches that made it unlistenable It would’ve been worth recording rather than posting in this condition

ReginaldDwight · Mar 2025

For god's sake, these commercials are DEAFENING. They break in not just mid-speech, or mid-thought, mid-phrase or even mid-word, but mid-SYLLable. What is the point of that? Why are you abusing your listeners this way? I have heard that unbearably obnoxious, supercilious guy (wwwhat would you do/imagine) FOUR TIMES already in the latest Michael Wolff & it's only partway through! Why would you want to assure your audience feels harassed, & absolutely hostile toward your sponsors? Worse, the original podcast from the Daily Beast takes announced commercial breaks! So why do you insist on cutting into the middle of a word with this punishingly loud stuff when you received it already nicely broken up for ads? I cannot understand it. People are on edge enough. Please don't treat your listeners - who sincerely want to hear what your shows have to say - with such appalling harshness.
