Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 44.3k ratings
  • Not too ideological

    The show avoids a common critique of MSM by avoiding the sliding scale of standards that, in effect, caters to the right. For example, we’re in an unprecedented time of grift and lawlessness from the Executive and Saagar (the right leaning opinion) is not afraid to say so. To downplay it, in the spirit of balance, would be dishonest and frankly out of touch.

    Seeing a lot of comments about it seems like a left-leaning show. Well, yeah - the right controls all 3 branches of government and they’r... more

  • Gone downhill big time

    This show used to be a great, unbiased source of news. Now it seems that most episodes are just the whiny democrat hosts complaining. Ryan and Krystal are insufferable and the producer/new host Griffin is possibly the most annoying person I’ve ever heard on a podcast.

  • Okay podcast

    They cover some good topics but Saagar rambles on and on but doesn’t really say much of substance. Trashing AOC on her foreign policy gaffes seemed sexist considering the incoherence of Rubio, Trump and Vance when it comes to their “foreign policy”

  • Review

    Saagar is great, tried to have reasonable and fact based discussions. Since the run up to and post election Krystal has become more and more unhinged. Rather that having a discussion just shouting NO NO NO as Saagar is trying to make a point. Show used to be good discussion back and forth between sides but Krystal has moved way the other direction and it has really hurt the show making it less listenable.

  • Nails on a Chalkboard

    Aside from screechy voices that could use autotune, their approach feels like amateur hour. If this was a junior high podcast I might give this 5 stars — but these are adults.
