Great podcast.

The series highlights a strain of far right extremism that is popping up around the country. I thought they correctly characterized the Shasta County folks as extreme, but missed the market a bit with Bridget Ziegler. Regarding Shasta County, it appears the political revolt is driven by...Read full review »

If you want to know that the reporting is accurate, look at why people are giving this show one star. This podcast is excellent. Cannot recommend it enough!

This is a great yet disturbing analysis of the right wing attitude that feels “you can’t tell me what to do”. The rejection of societal norms and acceptance of if you don’t like what your elected reps do then you can threaten physical violence is leading to the downfall of a once great country...Read full review »

I enjoy following this series as it exposes a genuine plague on our nation, and on our societies. The loud minority, that is the extreme right, is being forced into the spot light. I can only hope they scatter like roaches.

Easy to tell which people reviewing this podcast have actually listened to it.
Bob_LaBlaw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/22
Exceptionally well done podcast. Important information that illuminates the crisis that misinformation and tribalism are creating in our country. Hearing local citizens speak about all sides of these issues gives critical insight into how people are thinking.

I’m no fan of Q and I value common sense. Unfortunately, this “investigative reporter” sounds like nothing but a mouthpiece of the establishment left-wing corporate media who wishes to demonize ALL of the right, and can’t seem to report on the many forms of extremism Democrats are not...Read full review »

Well produced propaganda. The “election “ episode: Only the “extreme right wing” distrusts election integrity. Why is the official Democrat policy to do away with photo ID? Same day registration and no postmarked ballots? All policies that add chaos? There’s only one possible...Read full review »

A captivating and distinct listen on what’s happening at the bedrock level of our democracy. Ignore the 1-star reviews from the extremist haters this podcast is about.
Nicole540 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/22
Each episode could be about half as long. Much fluff, over-explaining
Lowly intern boi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/22
Incredible on the ground humanistic reporting, investigating the political movements happening in small-town America — each unique with it’s own struggles, traditions, changes, diverse populations, and social problems. I was pleasantly surprised to see how honestly this podcast painted a portrait...Read full review »

Good so far glad I discovered it

Divisive and dishonest. Garbage podcast, I want my time back.

WOW! Bedrock podcast clearly outlines the passion that individuals hold on what happens with their city government and their communities. This podcast gives us insight to the mayhem that’s happening to some of their injustice decisions that affect all of our lives. That is why America democracy...Read full review »

A fun and thrilling listen. At the end of each episode I want to know what will happen next?! Laura is also great at pausing to explain things. I’m learning a ton about local government, campaign finance, etc.
MollySuperFan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/22
I find the reporting in this podcast poignant and pertinent. I also find it amusing and simultaneously disturbing that the one star reviews of this podcast are mainly from people who like the self-awareness to understand that this series is about them and their views.
MightyM31 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/22
All forms of extremism are dangerous. The problem is the group you’re concerned with is a tiny minority. The group you should be concerned with is the one that has all the power.
Brad Longdad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/22
Thank you for the reporting
driven2review via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/22
I’d love for somebody to be honest enough to report on all extremist in America because I do believe it’s becoming a problem when you have people looting & burning down business or invading a government building. The really scary part is how our news reports “their” view. It’s too bad this...Read full review »
Buckeye Shelly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/22
Gotta love the reviewers giving this podcast 1-star and criticizing it for being one-sided. Those are the people who want only their side to rule without question or oversight. What I like is that the podcast is well-researched and allows those who are being reported on “on the right” to say...Read full review »
GaberDotCom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/22
I am middle of the road when it come to political issues and this cast is so cut up and edited so the caster can spread her agenda. Comical at best!!!!!!
Thank goodness for Florida via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/22
Did I miss the part in the description that said this podcast would be a sole attack on far right extremism. I personally felt excited when I read the description, seemingly describing a breakdown of extremism in American politics. It’s clear this podcast is targeting the right specifically and...Read full review »

If you have low self esteem, are unsure if you like the USA, are insecure about your Neo-Marxist views, & need a few Liberal strangers to make your sensitive self feel proud of the Leftist freak you’ve become, then this show is for you.
Marie Dorothy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/22
1-star for perpetuating the ridiculous like insane political extremism is exclusive to one political party. This is sad and very backwards. This type of rhetoric is the enemy of the people.
do144000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/22
If I could give it zero stars I would. In a country of divided politics and viewpoints we again continue with the belief that those right of center are all extremists. And only those left of center democrats and progressives are the salvation of the country. If only we could just silence every...Read full review »

Garbage. In a world of super partisanship this podcast is creating more. This podcast is trying to be a uniter as much as Let’s Go Brandon promised to be but clearly isn’t. Garbage. Garbage.
got Marie? via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/22
This is a great podcast and very accurate. Ignore the one star reviews. They are clearly all from the right wing trump loving democracy damaging psychopaths that side only with qanon and the trump cronies. They will ruin this country if left to run a muck like they started to when trump came...Read full review »

This show is well laid out and provides insight into a world Id never have otherwise. Thanks!

You may know our political system is collapsing, but you don’t know how the far right works its tentacles into our local government to create that collapse…. but you will once you listen in!
cargocultpants via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/22
Just two episodes in and I’m hooked! Laura does an incredible job of steering the listener through complex, nationwide trends of far right extremism and anti-democratic movements by grounding them in accessible, local stories. And this couldn’t have come at a more critical time, as we’re all...Read full review »
Grryan89 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/22
A must-listen for anyone interested in democracy, local government, and the truly human motivations that drive people fighting for — and against — it. Laura is the perfect host: funny and wise and deeply embedded in the worlds she describes. Great and shocking tape at every turn. Listen!

Bedrock USA tells a fascinating story of small town America—underscoring how important small towns and cities are to the fabric of this country and this democracy.

This podcast is incredible. Very captivating. Laura does an exceptional job telling a story that must be told. It really captures the state of politics in America and how democracy is being threatened like never before. Give it a listen. You won’t regret it.
[PeterGibbons] via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/22
This podcast is absolutely a great listen. Laura has a gift of being able to speak in a way to keep your attention well as interest. I love the way she goes back and forth between the two cities. Yes it is political but handles it effectively. I am anxiously waiting for the next one. Very well...Read full review »

Thoughtful and important analysis on an under-examined topic. Really looking forward to the rest of the episodes!

Excellent production and story with chilling examples. I’ve told all my friends to listen.
tinydanza34 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/22
By taking us into the small town politics of Sequim. WA and Shasta county, CA, Bedrock exposes the long game strategy and tactics of the conspiracists seeking to destroy our democracy. It’s a movement that can and will succeed if we don’t pay attention and learn from these case studies.
it'snottoolate via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/22
Will listen just to see how far you are willing to spread lies..
Kjhasko1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/22
Her voice sounds like the Sister / Daughter that got lost in Q. The cuts of real audio from subjects of topic line up perfectly with the story she was Trying to Weave
Solo Season via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/22
After the first episode, it’s clear this reporter has done her homework. Bravely, I might add. By inserting herself into conversations with various subversives, she is illuminating the vapidity of their philosophy: there simply isn’t one. Don’t get me wrong, she gives them ample opportunity to...Read full review »
TomBliss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/22
This podcast seeks to get a foundation under the warning that far-right conspiracy theory is THE rising threat. All the while skirting the same far-left agendas. It’s hard to take these kinds of “investigations“ seriously when you don’t address both sides. The imbalance is as transparent as the...Read full review »
bluenails via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/22
This podcast is so needed right now. I can’t wait to hear more about Laura’s deep dive on how conspiracy theories and other far right ideology have made their way into mainstream politics.
Vhalpern via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/22
The examples and language used are extremely biased. If that’s what you are looking for, you may enjoy it. A suggestion: an objective analysis of the topic would be interesting.
Ken~Z via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/22
The values our founding fathers fought to protect are now called “extreme,” in a society where you are gaslighted and only get a one-sided news story, when everything in our society is falling apart, when people can’t define what a true woman is, when everyone has their own version of reality and...Read full review »

Biased garbage that paints anyone right of Lenin as an “extremist.” Doesn’t care to see the irony in its own bigotry.
