The Smerconish Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have been a fan of Michael’s show on CNN for a very long time. I love the Daily poll questions and I love the guests on the short podcast that comes later. I would give five stars, however I don’t understand why it’s so short. I want more Smerconish!

Thank you, Michael for doing the probing, asking the right questions, and getting to the heart of the matter for us listeners who otherwise may only receive a varnished top coat of the real information. Your piece on Bill Cosby’s acquittal was eye-opening. I appreciate the way you are able to tackle an emotional issue with objectivity.

All the best,

Cristina

Please retrain your sound guy, Michael. Anyone outside of the studio that Michael talks to is produced at a lower volume than Michael: when TC appears remotely, callers (understandably), and even Mike Murphy airing from a professional studio. The least that could be done for listeners would be to lower Michael's volume to the level of the remote person's so that we listeners can turn our volume up without the danger of having our eardrums being blown out by Michael's booming voice! I am exasperated because this has been going on for years, which is so incongruous with how meticulous Michael is.

I began listening about a year ago because I was eager to hear a variety of opinions. I’ve always been “in the middle” leaning liberal. I especially appreciate that Michael is not afraid of tough subjects or controversial figures. Also Michael is respectful of every caller regardless of their views.

I am a progressive centrist and find your 9am show on Saturdays at CNN an informative & objective breath of fresh air amid these disappointing & polarized times. Many more years & shows Michael, Jim

This show is great and the podcast USED TO BE GREAT, but when you cut content to podcasts down to less than 10 min I unsubscribed. I still check in to see if content is longer and I listen to the episodes longer than 15 min. When I’m working and listening 10 min shows won’t do. Please release more content from the full show!
