A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

MeidasTouch is a news agency I found on Twitter that I saw posted podcasts that are extremely informative, well researched and always telling you about things regular news wouldn’t even dare report on.

MamaMiaHati · Sep 2026

I loved hearing you express your outrage over the abuse of our servicemen and women, and your promise to military families and our servicemen to “fight like hell” for them. Not only do I agree we all need to fight like hell for them (as they literally do for us, but your empathy for and commitment to military families is one way to help break through to them, as many where I live were also families who voted for Trump. Thank you for committing to the high road in terms of compassion and empathy. It’s the only way *I* can see will get us through this horror. Grateful to all 3 of you for starting MTN; you are using your powers for GOOD, and this old mom, teacher, full-blooded American (whose ancestors made Americans PROUD in many wars over the years,) *that* is so very much appreciated. Thank you Brothers Meiselas, all. Also, Ben, I am 100% thinking all the expletives and name calling - often at full volume to myself (and a parrot - not a great move) but I would offer that *especially* in times *this horrific,* I need a CALM, REASONED voice to help me hold it together. I don’t miss a single LegalAF on the MTN because Popok gives me the best news I could possibly hear - and with the calm reassurance I need to hear from *someone* (or I am afraid I’ll explode and do no one any service.) Again I’m 100% screaming the same things you are. I feel ya! (How could I not?!?) and I love you guys for being there to give me the honest objective realities. For yourself, even, I want you to take some deep breaths for us all. We love you. And we need you.

I have listened to your podcast for a long time and have enjoyed the factual information you provide, but you’re getting over the top with dramatic titles. It’s starting to feel like click bait and not really supported with the facts. Please stop the histrionics and stick with reporting the facts. Unfortunately the facts are bad enough without having to make them sound worse.

Listening to these guys has kept me sane over the past year. When it has all been too much (especially now) I truly look forward to a new episode. Most importantly, the brothers are honest and keep me informed without having to watch or read much of, if any, mainstream corporate media because I have lost faith in getting factual information from the latter. So, thank you, guys! We will all get through this together. 🇺🇸♥️
