  • Breath of Fresh Air

    Excellent overview of a few important topics going on in politics for the week. Generally down the middle with some good criticism of both side of the aisle. This is a very good listen to get some challenge of one’s personal views and to consider different perspectives.

  • Absolutely Love

    I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I love The Dispatch! I’m a high school senior currently, and I’ve been listening since 2021. The Dispatch has played a large role in my desire to go to college for public policy. Thanks to TD and AO, I’ve learned about media literacy, fact-checking, law, and what careers in those fields can look like. Obviously ever news outlet has some bias, but I appreciate these podcasts for being upfront about it. I’ve learned more from The Dispatch these past f... more

  • Please don’t be creepy

    Please stop making comments objectifying women (‘easy on the eyes’, etc). It’s just creepy. Several of the men on this show have mentioned that they have daughters. Taylor Swift is someone’s daughter too. Not the first time a comment like this has been made on this and other Dispatch shows. All seem to be upstanding people otherwise, so I’m hoping this is just a blind spot that is easily corrected.

  • French

    Y’all gotta call out French more than you do. Pretty much reversed himself on famine.

  • What’s the point?

    After years of listening to this weekly pod, I unfollowed the show. What’s the point of this weekly pod? It’s usually done to early in the week to really be a week in review type panel. It’s mostly just an hour of ranting against Trump. We get it. You don’t like Trump. He’s unqualified, he’s uniquely dangerous. Learn a new tune. Good grief.
