War on the Rocks - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is an exceptional resource in folllowing the Ukraine war effort. It provided expert analysis on a timely basis. Hats off to the War on the Rocks team.

I learned of this show from my son in the USAF. I started listening to it when I visited him. I find it very informative, impartial, and with up to date valuable information on the War in Ukraine, but also on other potential threats of war in the World, and to the USA. The guest speakers are experts in their field, and have often visited the places they speak about. It may be that speakers come back, but with updated information that they have found, which is worthwhile to listen to, and invaluable to understand what is going on where.

Richly informative, expertly curated, well hosted, and altogether indispensable.

There’s nothing else like this out there. Listening to people who actually know what they’re talking about is so refreshing. It’s scholarly but accessible. My only complaint is that there aren’t more shows on Ukraine war with Michael Kofman.

I love the podcasts, and have been a paying customer for awhile, but last month all of my private URL podcasts stopped working even when I unfollowed and went back into my account and readded them. After a couple of weeks of this I tried to report the issue through Apple Podcasts and nothing got fixed. Then I tried to reach out via Twitter (since they don’t have a contact form for customers) but they don’t accept DMs so I first replied to one of their posts and then sent them an @. After hearing nothing back it was clear they don’t care that I’m a paying customer so I cancelled my account and that was the only place I saw any way to send them a message. I explained this but never heard anything back there either. Huge let down because, as I said, there podcasts are pretty good especially the paid ones.

Listening to every episode in the beginning but now i check in every now and then; very little in the way of new information/ opinions that i havent heard elsewhere; both guys are well informed but rarely offer unique or deeper analysis; constantly hedging their bets and trying to upsell their subscription only podcast. Cmon guys you are supposed to be experts act like it. Meh.
