  • Go Oilers!

    As a listener in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, I was thrilled to hear a shout out to our beloved Oilers. Oh, the podcast is great, too, foe keeping up with what’s happening in conservative circles in the United States.

  • No to Noah

    Noah Rothman is unlistenable. The pace at which he speaks, his pedantic wordiness and arrogance...

    Whether he is correct in his assessments and points or not…

    He is unlistenable.

    My same response when I listen to his contributions on Commentary Magazine

  • Episode “Who Won?”

    It’s frustrating to listen to the editors reduce their analysis of the war with Iran to simply labeling people “winners” or “losers”. I expect more from Rich Lowry and his team of editors. I’m finding I get better analysis of the war from Walter Russel Mead. The Editors should listen to “How Not to Follow Events in Iran” as a good example.

  • Best Political Podcast Out There

    The Editors is my favorite political podcast. Unabashedly conservative, the Editors nevertheless are not partisan stooges and thoughtfully call balls and strikes on the issues of the day. I sent an episode to a left-leaning friend of mine, and he said he really enjoyed how honest and fair it was.
