  • Great Podcast

    Josh thoughtfully covers the issues and I admire his intellectual and political honesty. I credit him for keeping me with at least one foot firmly planted in conservative thought. He brings a fresh light to a rich intellectual tradition I was mostly ignorant to before his work. Thanks for the great content. He also shows restrain in his interviewing style, allowing guests to really dive into their experiences and perspective. I have to say, he has a strong message on other podcasts as well.

  • Intellectual Integrity!

    A very rare podcast that delivers an honest and objective view point that can be critical of both extremes while maintaining principled conservative values. Its a breath of fresh air during these polarizing times.

  • Incredible show!

    I love this podcast! It's an excellent blend of the movers and shakers in the conservative movement and various and sundry non-famous guests who bring a unique outside-the-beltway perspective. These conversations pack a lot of information in each hour-long episode that's refreshingly more engaging than what typically passes for political chatter.

  • Engages the Mind!

    I began listening to Saving Elephants in my attempt to define what is ‘Conservatism’ four months ago. This podcast was incredibly helpful to give direction, references and thoughtful input to my quandary. Since then I’ve binged listened to 25 of the podcasts. I have to say I enjoy and appreciate how Josh engages the mind and not the emotions. In my opinion, this is a rare commodity for talk shows today. Whether he is co-hosting, conducting an interview or going solo, you can be sure the s... more

  • Wonderful Show!

    As a Gen Z small L libertarian in the Republican Party, I greatly appreciate Josh’s inclusion of a variety of voices across the broader center right spectrum. He has struck an amazing balance between including guests who are already household names in conservative circles as well as rising stars who I hope will emerge as thought leaders in the years to come. His solo episodes are equally noteworthy with his nuanced and thorough analysis to both long-standing philosophical debates within conserva... more
