What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I discovered your show a few years ago and when I make trips, I listen to your show each time on many different subject matters each one of them is very interesting, but also the manner in which you probe for answers and your true inquisitiveness shines through and gives us a perspective you don’t see in most other podcast or interview.

Lippy39 · Dec 2024

Shawn brings it! Just finished 149 with three time guest Sarah Adams and had to write my first ever review for a podcast. If you have the stomach to find out what America is really up against, start with this amazingly informative interview. Sarah is a highly regarded terror expert whose credentials speak for themselves. She shares some jaw dropping information that will have you thinking about our position in the world for days after. Shawn consistently brings personable subject experts and real world professionals to his table and parses out information you will not find ANYWHERE else. His questions come from his extensive experience serving our great Nation in many capacities both known and unknown. The best compliment I think a man can receive is that he’s the kinda dude you’d want to share a beer with. That correct of a man. In a time when our information is doled out like it’s gifts from above, Shawn pulls back the membrane and gives us a real world, up close and personal look at the truth, all from well vetted experts. Can’t recommend The Shawn Ryan show enough. Well worth your time. Some of this info might even save your life some day.

Bill Young · Dec 2024

As a young 23 y.o. growing up in the world we live in, this show has given me so much guidance and growth. It’s hard to explain exactly what this show has done for me, but it has lit a fire in me that I’ve never recognized before. I can’t wait to continue going through this life, listening to this show, and applying the lessons and knowledge I’ve gained from it in my everyday life.

MasonB777! · Dec 2024

I truly love the objective view on a wide range of topics! I also love that Shawn, while he has opinions of his own, truly maps out an interview to extract the information of his guests. This makes a very informative and entertaining format! Keep is up PATRIOT!

Rescuedan22 · Dec 2024

SRS is an opinion and entertainment show. But it’s just not fun or entertaining any longer. For a long time I thought of this show as a must-listen. But gone are the fairly diverse, often engaging and normally thought provoking discussions. In their place are increasingly far-right evangelicals and born-agains just adding to the toxicity and spouting the MAGA greatest hits. The show isn’t news. It doesn’t claim to be. Sadly it’s become part of the right wing angertainment ecosystem. Which is a bummer because Mr Ryan is someone whose service to our country is something I deeply respect and his experiences add up to normally fantastic interviews. Oh well. On to the next.
