  • Persuadable is Utterly Brilliant

    I have personally been the victim of conspiratorial beliefs at times. I have also watched others fall over the event horizon of the rabbit hole and I wish I’d been able to hear something like this podcast. I believe it is lifeline, a rope to pull ourselves out of some of the beliefs that have the potential to hijack our minds and hearts. Thank you for this reporting Donie.

  • Huge fan

    I’m a huge fan of Mr. King on CNN, love the magic wall. But was thrilled to learn he had a podcast based on his On the Map reports . He’s a true reporter with no bias, he just demands honesty from his subjects - regular Americans of all stripes . Just wish there were more episodes!

  • Opening my eyes

    Having a keen interest in American politics. John King’s All Over the Map is one of the best geopolitical podcasts as it’s not talking to the politicians about the politicians, but rather the ordinary Joe on the street about the what is making them tick about voting and their beliefs and reasons to vote the way they do.
