What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

After growing up in (and writing off) rural Arkansas, this podcast has been convicting. It’s amazing what you can learn by listening and how hearts and minds can be changed by it. Theirs and ours.

As a black educator who grew up and taught in the small towns of coal county, people feel seen when you listen to them. Great podcast.

It gives me hope that organizers are engaging rural America, we can’t afford to give up on each other. This podcast shows us new ideas and creative solutions that involve building coalitions by actually listening and respecting each other.

SGehl · Sep 2020

Compelling, authentic, relevant. The stories told - and lived, today - connect us to a reality we can’t ignore if we want to move forward. Greed of a few put the many in a losing situation; racism and all “other-isms” are the rusty but easy tools used to keep the many from truly seeing each other. Georg Goehl helps reveal the qualities of heart, soul, commitment and fearlessness through varied stories & strategies, mostly told by an amazing network of women organizers. Thank you, People’s Action, for supporting their journeys home to brave the vulnerabilities of true connection and their commitment to doing the hard work we need to gain a just society for all.

I listened to every episode hoping this podcast would change my mind. It didn’t. Just more coddling and excuse-making for the white rural culture that cares about no one but themselves. I know, I came from that culture (just like more than half of people currently in the “urban liberal bubble”, btw). This endeavor is based on naive assumptions. To say that these people listen to Hannity et al because they are the only voices speaking to white rural America is to get it backwards: they listen because those are the voices speaking specifically to *only* white rural America. They are not brainwashed. Toxic conservative media exists because it is what these people actually want. It indeed reflects their values. It’s time the rest of us stop making excuses for this hateful culture and actually focus on our own interests.
