I learn so much everyday by tuning in. This is required listening on a daily basis. It lays a strong foundation for thinking critically about a complicated world that is compounded with complex ideas.

I like….a lot. No red meat.

I started listening to Cato audio materials back in 2005 when they sent out CDs with the « podcast ». When podcasts started, I was thrilled. I have thus been listening to the high quality stuff of Cato for close to two decades now.

The bait and switch is not democratic and considering that the party has democratic in the name. You are really biased and even though I dislike Trump I am not deranged like your guest.
Evan Stevoid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/24
Great podcast that covers a wide variety of topics.

Caleb Brown has the best podcast voice. But I enjoy how informative the show is, how it gets right to the point and doesn’t waste time. I also value how Cato frequently admits when it’s wrong, which is very seldom. PS school choice is not the nirvana you think it is. But I actually admire your...Read full review »

Caleb provides a straightforward approach to every topic with top-notch guests. Don’t miss it!

Clear and concise. Does a good job of staying on topic.

Whichever side of the isle you are on, this is the 15 minutes daily that WILL make you smarter and more informed.

Caleb is a wonderful host. The podcasts are nice, short little bursts of information on a wide variety of topics.
mborlado via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/23
I either love what they’re saying or I hate it, but it’s always intellectually honest
TheUltimateparadox via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/23
Just not very enjoyable to listen to. Monotonous and slow. Good topics though.

Cato does a wonderful job with this informative news podcast. I look forward to continuing to listen.
C2theN via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/23
Nice updates of topical events with a rational viewpoint.
SoCalCuster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/23
No matter your ideology there will be episodes you disagree with and episodes you do, which is exactly how a podcast like this should be

Bryan Kaplan was excellent.
Rememberist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/22
This is my favorite podcast. The content is excellent and it is moderated in an intelligent, thoughtful and educating fashion. I have learned a lot by listening and have enjoyed having some of my positions challenged by considering the information discussed by the host and the many guests. It...Read full review »

I’ve listened for many years. The format is good, but somewhere along the way you guys went way too pro-establishment. There are podcasts out there now that are having serious, challenging discussions thru a principled, libertarian lens. I’m unfollowing to make more time for those. Stop...Read full review »

A silly straw man argument…conservatives have never been more libertarian in my lifetime (I’m 62)…you focus on trumpians that we’ve chosen to ally with, maybe talk about that phenomena in the future
douglush via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/22
It must be Big Government Week on the Cato podcast. Did they bring back the equal-time rule?
Not that TK via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/22
Love this podcast for its lack of emotion and simple, factual reporting on the important issues facing our country. Interesting and informative guests and concise format.
focsteve via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/21
Very good, intelligent analysis from the conservative side in short form. Don't mind the one star reviews from Trump cult members who flip out anytime their chosen one is rightly criticized. They've been eating too many memberries.Read full review »

The Facebook Oversight Board is merely deception and trickery to fend off government legislation and regulation. While this decision was limited to whether the ban after Jan 6 incident was justified, the board did say Facebook should create “clear, necessary, and proportionate policies that...Read full review »

I suggest your ‘expert’ guests spend some time doing research. The male who grossly assaulted the 65 yr old Asian woman was not Caucasian. Also any discussion about domestic terror that does not mention ANTIFA or BLM, who are responsible for billions in damage and many lives lost, loses...Read full review »

LOVE CATO!!!!
FabianBond via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/21
I generally like this podcast, but every now and then I wonder how Cato employs some of its people. Gene Healy today (2/16/21) said B Clinton's lying about a blow job was arguably less serious than D Trump's lying about inciting violence, and was worse than R Nixon's cover up and...Read full review »

I’ve been a long time listener and generally agree but I can’t take it any more. I feel like all the show has done in the past year or so is bash Trump. I couldn’t get through today’s episode and unsubscribed. I am done.

You folks were a great honest resource for a long time, sad to see you go maybe you can save yourselves....
devz6 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/21
Cato functionaries are often interviewed. Their views would not be out of place on PBS Nightly News. Cato libertarianism is the most tepid an effete sort.
nicmart via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/20
Not sure what happens here... I can’t tell the difference between the Cato and Brookings podcast these days especially on foreign policy.
epg- bookish via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/20
Beltway Libertarians. Fake news and very political now. Very sad because I’ve been a listener for years. Ad Hominem attacks and unrelated associates are not compelling arguments.
CoolNeat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/20
I’m a libertarian. I generally agree with what Cato has to say. But Jesus, this daily podcast has turned into a daily Uhmm show (the guests are all uhmmers) bashing on Trump. I have CNN for that. And they Uhmm less!
knobdy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/20
Topics relevant to current events. Not always very brilliant
Pap. E via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/20
It seems like a hear ducks quacking when libertarians talk health care
Blusztejn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/20
Nobody, i mean nobody asks better questions than Caleb Brown. His guest are cutting edge. Do yourself a favor and listen for the next year. Then ... donate something for ALL the effort. You’ll be way ahead in the transaction. Much respect Cato.
tony baloney macroni via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/20
This podcast is a must for anyone who is concerned about civil liberties in America. You may not always agree, but this always cuts to the vital issues facing our nation. Quality can vary depending on guests and topic, but it's always shining a light on the key threats to our liberties in a...Read full review »

I found it disturbing that 2 recent podcasts addressed the Iran deal , Trump’s rescind and then the targeted killing. My issue was that the assumption that the Iran deal was good for the US is highly questionable and there was no rebuttal or even any questions addressing that assumption

If you want to listen to people who think they know every thing and consider their opinions as fact this is for you.
Craigldavis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/20
Saleihmani was a major terrorist! How dare you as commentators say POTUS45 had to notify Congress! Obama did far more than take out a Terrorist! Nothing was ever told to congress and nothing said! 👎🏻
angelpingz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/20
Concise, honest, valuable insights on a wide range of fascinating topics. Always backed up by research and facts and not just conjecture! Delivered in a positive and fun way! Awesome!
Alden Guy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/19
The quality of the podcast varies wildly with its guests. If you’re not already onboard with the viewpoint the host and guest are espousing, then you’re unlikely to be convinced. More of a “preaching to the choir” than anything else. Lastly, does not understand that there can actually be...Read full review »

This isn’t libertarian, who put this pro illegal alien junk on CATO? When the unemployment rate hits ZERO then we'll discuss immigration reform. “Doctor” Jeff Singer likely isn’t a medical doctor yet they present themselves as such, someone who holds a doctorate isn’t a doctor and when speak...Read full review »

i really usually enjoy the cato daily podcast, but today’s was far below average. the interviewee was allowed to speak expansively, but offered shallow answers. his analogies were sophomoric, and he feigned surprise that the host was unaware of an obscure figure.
Almost Somebody via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/19
Cato produces great work and this podcast allows me to keep up to date on current issues and Cato’s analysis.

Wake up and open your mind.

I enjoy the short form and relaxed conversation. Views tend to be balanced.
Silviut via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/19
I am a Libertarian, a career military officer and have supported Cato over the years. I was listening to this morning's 4th of July episode and took exception to some of your commentator's perspectives on armor. We, in the US military, do not aspire to fight fair. We seek to apply our...Read full review »
