What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

These podcasts are great at putting forward reasonable political views in a way that serves all residents of the U.S. It seems that the Forward Party is gaining traction with people running and winning under the Forward Party banner. I’m excited to have a better option.

Azalea240 · Apr 2026

This was so refreshing to listen to. I hadn’t heard of the Forward Party before listening to this first episode of the podcast, and I am SO excited to hear more! I want to learn how we can make this party a truly valid option for voters…not just the best option nobody will vote for because they feel they can’t win. Let’s get people on board and make real change!! Truth. Strength. Bravery. Honesty. Commitment. Community. Respect. Love. I’m here for it!!

MNMomma23 · Jan 2026

I think the Forward Party is an important cause, and I am cautiously pessimistic about their potential. This podcast has far too much cross-talk between the three hosts, and far too much self-congratulation. I would suggest simplifying, imposing more discipline on the hosts somehow, or reducing the number of hosts.
