  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Iran Thinks It’s Winning the War
Q: Yaroslav, so now that Iran has effectively taken control of the strait and doesn't seem likely to give it up easily, what are the US military's options for reopening it?
Options include sea and aerial operations to re-secure the strait, potentially seizing strategic assets like the Karg island, and escorting tankers, but each comes with high casualty risk and the complication of modern drone warfare and long-range precision capabilities.
Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
Q: What have you been working on recently?
I and a team of reporters have been examining claims about assaults on federal immigration officers, analyzing posts and video to assess whether the government's accusations hold up.
Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown
Q: What's your name?
I'm Hannah Critchfield, a reporter on the investigations desk at The Journal.
How ICE Went From Deport… to Airport
Q: How did ICE come to be involved in airport security in the first place?
A combination of a political crisis over DHS funding, a public push from the administration and media amplification led to a plan to redeploy ICE officers to assist with airport security, despite ICE's typical focus on immigration enforcement rather than security screening.
Fertility Inc.: One Dad, One Hundred Babies
Q: What motivated Xu Bo to pursue so many surrogacies?
The episode suggests Xu Bo views large-scale family-building as a business strategy and a legacy-building mechanism, with some remarks implying a desire to build an empire and to have a large number of male children, which raised questions about motives and oversight.
