What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Sarah Adams, while not the best orator around, does speak matter of factly about what’s happening in the real world. Her episodes are devoid of politics, she speaks on behalf of her listeners, telling us what’s really going on, what to look out for, how to spot certain behaviors. She provides us with useful, timely information and oftentimes actions we should take to better protect ourselves and our loved ones. Given her relationship with Shawn Ryan, I am so happy she has stayed true to herself and not gone off the crazy cliff like Shawn has.

Mdfeldm · Mar 2026

I have listened to Sarah on various podcasts for years, and she is the real deal. She is extremely knowledgeable about the topics that she discusses, and one will learn a lot by listening to her. My *one* complaint is that she speaks without seemingly taking a breath. Everything comes out in a complete, uninterrupted dialogue that can be tiring to the listener. I get that she has years of presenting information to officials where she may only have had a short window to convey the things that she needed to get out. But, just some more, natural, pauses in speech would be much easier on listeners’ ears. Adding a couple of minutes across the span of a podcast to slow down some and be less rapid fire while presenting would be welcome. I’m worn out after 30 minutes and can’t imagine listening to back to back podcasts. A- instead of A+ based on that. Otherwise, fantastic!
