  • Very selective and biased

    Plenty of left leaning selective podcasting that neglects the need for unbiased news. The stories are selected and very one sided. I challenge them to have an episode that is not from a left leaning perspective.

  • Apparently, Epstein isn’t worth a mention

    While the rest of the world has been on fire about the Jeffrey Epstein files for the last three weeks, the Journal seems to think China’s activities in Ohio are far more interesting. In fact, the journal seems to think everything is more interesting than this. But what is truly scary is that the right leaning version of this podcast, also by the Wall Street Journal, “Potomac watch“ has also not mentioned it. Literally not one mention. Go check. It has actually been laughable the kind of “news“ t... more

  • Episodes Need Organizing

    I stumbled across Camp Swamp Road via a list of recommended podcast. I am from and live in SC and less than 2hrs from the case so it caught my attention. The journalism and telling of the case was fantastic and educational. I wish more individuals truly understood Stand Your Ground and the nuances that can further complicate the law, state to state. My only complaint about The Journal, as a whole, is the lack of organization, with its content. I had to search the title and find each episode of t... more

  • Hit piece on Vinay Prasad was the absolute last straw

    You tried to caricature him as an anti vaccine loon when he was extremely pro covid vaccines, just not for children. Absurd. Did you even reach out to him for interview about WHY he denied the Moderna flu shot?

    I have been a listener for ten years now. I am done. I don’t know why you would debase the good name of the WSJ with this bad reporting.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fertility Inc.: When the Surrogate Gets Left With the Bill
Q: What happens if the contract is breached or funds run short?
Surrogates may sue to recover owed amounts, but finding attorneys who will take such cases on contingency is difficult, and agencies often have relationships that complicate independent legal action.
Fertility Inc.: When the Surrogate Gets Left With the Bill
Q: Katherine, what kind of contract is a surrogate like Nia typically tied to?
A gestational surrogacy agreement, which outlines the surrogate's rights and the intended parents' parental rights, and often sets stipulations about activities during pregnancy and compensation.
Will Gas Prices Go Up Because of the Iran War?
Q: What is the worst-case scenario here?
The worst case is a prolonged period of volatility where oil rises toward $100 a barrel, triggering higher inflation, pressure on consumers, and tougher economic conditions.
Will Gas Prices Go Up Because of the Iran War?
Q: If things don't resolve soon in this conflict, what could it mean for the world oil market and the global economy?
