What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I haven’t had broadcast TV for 40 years so didn’t know of Mr Todd til this podcast so I thought it was just my annoyance w his perpetual interruption of guests. After reading other reviews, I see I’m not alone. I guess this tendency is on account of the nature of his television show. If I’m being charitable, it is bc of his enthusiasm and getting caught up in the discussion. The discussion topics are thoughtful and timely. The guests he is able to obtain impressive. All in all v engrossing even when they get into the political weeds. Just subtracted one star for the interruption habit. Also appreciate the isolation of sport discussions to the end of episode since it totally doesn’t interest me.

I never miss this podcast and hope you’ll continue it long after you leave Meet the Press. I love the informality of the discussions. It’s like having a couple of ridiculously smart people talking about the latest news over a beer on the back porch. Please don’t change a thing.

More of this kind of Representative please! Thoughtful, intelligent, fair and found something positive to say about someone across the aisle. Listeners benefit from this type of content. Wish my representative would spend some time with him.

I love the post game shows. It gives you all the extra info you wish there was time for on the broadcast.

I am a big, longtime fan of MEET THE PRESS as I’m 78 years old. Chuck is knowledgeable, no question about it. But Chuck, you MUST STOP INTERRUPTING YOUR ALSO KNOWLEDGE GUESTS!! You are rude when you do it… especially talking over your female guests! Please consider having a podcast when ONLY YOU speak. I would be very interested in that as you are smart and articulate. But let your guests FINISH THEIR SENTENCES… and their train of thought! I am interested in what they have to say, not just YOU! Thank you, Adrienne Donze Minnesota

This used to be one of my favorite podcasts and I eagerly tuned in every time there was a new episode. Now it’s unbearable. Chuck does not let his guests get a word in edgewise for all his interrupting. It’s beyond annoying! You invite interesting and insightful guests but don’t let them express their views. If Chuck wants to speak so much, host a podcast where all you do is speak. Don’t bother with guests. I’m so disappointed and frustrated. Gone is a valuable and interesting podcast that gave a more centered view of the world.
