  • Sorry, Neighbor, But You Lost Me

    I’m an Oregonian who was loving your show. But I can’t listen to you anymore since you’ve been stuck like the corporate media constantly dissecting President Biden under a microscope. Yes. He had a temporary cognitive event the night of the debate. Maybe a partial complex seizure or a TIA. But I’ve watched every event since then, and he’s ranged from fine to pretty great, like today in Detroit where Joe was on fire! The constant negativity is a self fulfilling prophecy of doom that will elect Tr... more

  • Lost Listener

    Once one of my weekly roster go-tos, I’m abandoning FacePalm America after a number of Beowulf's guests continue to spout Zionist propaganda without ANY pushback from the host, particularly John Rothman. This is insidious and intellectually dishonest to platform talking heads who deny reality and distort the truth. Neoliberalism kills. This isn’t a podcast for true “progressives” or anyone who cares about journalistic integrity. Next.

  • I love this and I don’t like political podcasts.

    Beowulf leads his intelligent and thoughtful guests through honest and insightful conversations. I’m surprised how taken in I am by these episodes, when I normally don’t even listen to political media! A refreshing take!

  • Realistic but hopeful

    Thank you for another great interview. And for bringing very important, often overlooked topics to us with humor and intelligence. And thank you for doing so with kindness.

  • True Patriots Seek the Truth

    Beowulf puts heart, soul and humor into these pro-democracy insider interviews. I’ve become a better informed citizen as a result. Thank you, Beowulf, for being an American patriot! Sometimes the truth hurts, but that’s not a reason to shy away from it.
