The Lead with Jake Tapper - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Good podcast but be ready with the fast forward button. Too many ads!

The files have been available so late, there’s no point in listening to most of the stories. Also, the audio editing is choppy. A segment often restarts midstream. It’s happened for several episodes now.

I appreciate his more balanced approach to news.
I don’t always like what I hear or agree with it and that is a good thing.
What I do like is that I am thinking and learning more.

P.S. Sick of this Trump trial coverage please talk about it less. There must be plenty of other stories to cover. The coverage level is almost as gross as the trial.

I love how assertive tapper gets with the politicians. He really tries to get answers. Please give us 2 hrs on podcast! I live in Australia and so I cannot get it on the TV. I rely on the podcast. Keep up the great
Work!

Great communication skills by all three of the hosts. They all have a great sense of humor as well which is entertaining as well as listening to their great perspectives.
One of the biggest things I also realize I was snookered by the Fake media was the character misrepresentation in regards to Steve Bannon! He has great humor, treats the callers well and very strategic! The media made him out to be an outsider that had no business being in the White House but I now see how valuable he is and was.

It used to be good, but recently the number of ads has greatly risen, often two ad segments back to back, with maybe 4 ad breaks over a half hour program, with the same ads repeated. "Omaha Steaks" is particularly smarmy and grating ("amazing!" "delicious, impressive!" "happy friends and family ... will think of you every time they cook ... !"). My iPod Nano has 30 sec backup but no skip forward function, unfortunately.
