The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Journalist and lawyer Hugh Hewitt is the best host and interviewer on air anywhere today. He is a newsman’s newsman who welcomes and interviews a broad spectrum of people of all walks of life and political viewpoints. Frequently, this show actually makes news because Hugh knows and asks the right questions and follow up questions of his guests. Civil, polite, thoughtful, but always probing, and not in a “gotcha!” manner. He just wants to help audiences really understand the important issues of the day, and he wants guests and listeners to keep coming back, especially if they disagree with him.

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…👏

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!

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.

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.
