What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Longtime listener— I so appreciated how timely your commentary was throughout the wild ride of the election summer & fall, but since then, I am in withdrawal — the Highly Concentrated podcast is my go-to, just after X, for understanding the pulse of current & world events. Have a nice vacation and a wonderful Thanksgiving with the fetching Mrs Hewitt, but please get back to podcasts soon!

I appreciate Hugh’s show, he’s succinct, he keeps to the topic and educates his listeners rather than telling them what to think. He has great guests too!

Artist4❤️ · Aug 2024

I appreciate Hugh’s broad review each morning, sharing headlines from around the world- Info I would never get, on my own. He comes across balanced and even handed- when he has a bias, ie., “I used to work for Nixon”, he is up front w full disclosure. This podcast is a focal point in my efforts at staying informed on current events- and I am most grateful for the daily programming he offers. Applause…👏

Wordsmith Annie · Jul 2024

I have listened to the Hugh Hewitt show for many years. He knows so many people and is straight forward. He is pro Republican yet listens to all sides. He is knowledgeable, sensible, and good hearted. If you want to know about politics, he is the one to listen to.

Winter Garden Mark · Feb 2023

Hewitt lies shamelessly, and doesn’t even bother to hide his glaring double standards on a variety of topics. I suppose he assumes that his listeners consume no actual news, only propaganda. If you want to be amused by a guy who will explain why he has a problem when a democrat does something, but is fine with the same behavior from a Republican, you’ve found your show. He will argue for one side of an issue, then make the exact opposite argument when the party line changes. He gives you the permission structure for total moral inconsistency.

I used to enjoy the condensed content of Hugh’s talk show available here. Unfortunately the quality of the content has deteriorated over the past few weeks and now finally disappeared. Hugh was able to interview some quality guests and provide coverage of events on a timely basis. Sadly, gone into the wind.
