The Speakeasy - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Do yourself a favor, and listen to this weekly! Blake is wise and bold, but also the most down-to-earth, compassionate communicator. She takes topics that are important, hard, and maybe even uncomfortable at times, and makes them easier to understand with a tone of encouragement and with Jesus as her center and compass. This podcast has been so meaningful in my life. I appreciate her willingness to listen to the Holy Spirit and creating a safe space for real conversation!

Listening to The Speakeasy Podcast feels like sitting down with a bold, no-fluff bestie who isn’t afraid to say the hard things—but always with truth, grace, and a whole lot of Jesus. Blake has a gift for calling out culture’s crazy while pointing us back to the unshakable truth of God’s Word. She’s witty, wise, and wonderfully unapologetic about standing firm in faith. Whether she’s solo or bringing on guests, every episode leaves me more grounded, more convicted, and more fired up to live boldly for Christ. This podcast is a rare gem in a sea of compromise. Don’t sleep on it!

I’ve been listening to Blake and her podcast for years now. It is by far my favorite. Never too shy to cover taboo topics, make people feel seen and heard. Always learn so much about culture, Bible, politics and more. I love this podcast all around!

I have been following Blake on IG for almost a year now. I continue to go back to her page for encouragement. She’s real and raw! It’s beautiful!
I recently started listening to her podcasts, and I can’t stop. I am in awe of Blake and her obedience as a woman of God. She speaks boldly, and talks about the nitty gritty on such a compassionate level. She’s incredibly authentic and relatable. I recommend listening to her! I scrolled and found a few topics that related to me and I’m so thankful and haven’t stopped listening. Her podcasts speak volumes!

This show is not rooted in Christian values or principles. Its rooted in Christian Nationalism which is promoting SOME Christian views, in order to achieve prominence or dominance in political and social life. This is not the way of Jesus. Jesus’s call is not to establish his kingdom in the United States but to establish a different sort of kingdom, one that conquers sin and death through love and forgiveness. It’s almost as if this show’s host believe’s the US is where Jesus is trying to establish his kingdom. This podcast provides partial truths because the ultimate goal is to promote President Trump’s values/agenda, not Jesus’ agenda. It has become a Donald Trump commercial. I used to be subscribed because I could identify with trying my best to be a good Christian and struggled with past shame. But to have a whole episode demonizing DEI initiatives when this has nothing to do with the kingdom of Jesus and masking it as Christian values? Building a following by speaking your mind publicly, especially about things you disagree with, but never ever publicly disagreeing with the current president, even when some of his actions or policies are anti-biblical? It takes away from the validity of the content of this podcast for me. And I don’t even care for politics. I do not lean one way or another. I choose the Jesus way. I choose loving God above all things and loving my neighbor as myself. I think being able to sit down with someone you disagree with and look at them and fully love them without the “buts” is the true mark of the love Jesus spoke about. This show isn’t that. The host specifically picks people who will say something to add to the story she is trying to sell. If you want anything resembling real facts from a Christian perspective, there are plenty other shows out there. I don’t recommend giving this a listen if you’re looking for even a hint about what following Christ is truly about.
