What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love this version of Acosta unshackled by the constraints of corporate journalism. The guests are fantastic and Jim’s closing remarks summon the proper amount of outrage for the latest political news.

1Laurel · Nov 2025

Jim, a formerly buttoned up journalist unleashed….love it, and love the profanity. Tells me I’m listening to a real human authentically being themselves, and speaking what he’s passionate about. Great guests as well!

Jeanienyc · May 2025

I listen to every episode- even on days I’m overwhelmed this podcast helps me stay informed. Very well done and more interesting and honest/natural than watching traditional media. He has had great guests so far! Duke is a good boy.

JessieFromFlorida · Apr 2025

I am absolutely loving the scrappy era of Jim Acosta! This show is so informative, but great moments for just a good belly laugh, too. I’m a little glad he’s free of CNN and unencumbered by the corporate politics.
