City Journal is informative and relevant to the conversations about contemporary social and cultural issues in America. This podcast offers a condensed version of narratives that are counter to the views expressed in the corporate media.

I mean, is there a better publication or podcast out there? Fighting the good fight with phenomenally interesting guests. I only wish it were two times a week or more. I’d love way more content. Also, Brian Anderson has the perfect voice for audio.

If you can’t read its site listen here. City Journal is investigative journalism at its best, a profession on the endangered list
Kangpin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/22
Empirical, factual, pragmatic and clear with research rich and knowledgeable guests. Well done.
dennis.karpf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/22
Alway interesting and often insightful. They talk generally to people actually involved in issues as opposed to reporters with an opinion to flog. I listen even though I don’t live in NYC because the issues almost always relate to the broader culture and good governance.

What a breath of fresh air. People actually thinking and talking about social and political issues with some depth and analysis! Perfect length too
Hamwax via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/22
A heavy emphasis on public policy, urban issues, and crime, but also featuring some deep dives into longer-form journalism. A sober, moderate perspective, though with clear conservative underpinnings.
Abwayax via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/21
As the first podcast I ever subscribed to, it is sad to observe the intellectual rigor has clearly declined. Too many puff pieces to promote some hack’s book and mediocre interviewers and guests make the podcast dull and charmless. Not worth my time now that I have so many other podcasts I could...Read full review »

One of my favorite podcasts. I learn something new every pod

Great podcast, especially helpful considering these topics never get play on the mainstream media.
nickatnight128 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/21
While coming from a center right perspective, City-Jounal is a non-hysterical, profoundly balanced, and, importantly, to the point and concise commentary on urban issues of the day.
Hkspeedster via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/21
The episode I listened to was the latest and the audio quality was a distraction. Voices fading in and out, channels changing from left to right and just a distraction from what was trying to be expressed. Surely you can do better than this.
jurly00 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/21
I especially like that these 'casts are short(ish) and to the point. Full of facts, concepts and insights not a lot of blatherRead full review »

Good interview with CK

I have been trying to find a balanced podcast that is smart, and can offer various perspectives. This one fits the bill. If you enjoy the Hoover institute podcasts, you’ll love this one. Give it a shot!
tdiddy1971 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/20
One of the best magazines out there. Calm, intelligent and serious. The best music of any podcast out there to kick off each episode.
jimithefox via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/16/20
Excellent center right podcast w intelligent discussion on relevant topics.
Nesorneb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/25/20
Just listened to the Bratton episode and the interviewer did not all press some of the grand statements he was making about how broken windows policing saved NYC and LA. Pure propaganda and not real journalism. Pass.
sidra8987 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/20
Realistic and pragmatic and reliable analysis of urban issues.
**kiankins** via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/20
I enjoy their enlightening conversations on social and political matters with free exchange of thoughts and opinions.
AndTPo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/20
Every episode is interesting, never a clunker. Keep up the great work!
Youngmoney25794$$ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/20
Thought this podcast looked very interesting but it is incredibly biased and white privilege shines through
maw1722 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/20
I very much enjoy the intellectual depth of the contributors and the factual perspectives that so many times are needed to counter the unhinged attacks on our rule based society and history by the Left.
AlpineDude2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/20
This podcast hosts a slanted parade of characters touting cherry-picked facts to reinforce white privilege.
spendstomuch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/20
Great interview with Heather Mac Donald. Thanks so much!
PCCHK001 via Apple Podcasts · Hong Kong · 08/23/20
She tells it like it is, backed up with facts.
joe vino via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/20
Variable-quality as some interviewees express their opinions backed by evidence, history, and reasons, while other interviewees have nothing to offer beyond smarmily blaming political opponents. Overall it's a good resource for conservative opinion on current topics. They're best on...Read full review »

Excellent, measured and data driven podcast. A breath of fresh air in times like these. I’d love to see them be twice as long. I think a hour is the minimum amount of time needed to truly dive into a major topic and the brevity of the episodes is honestly one of the only things holding this back...Read full review »

This podcast proves information at a level you can learn from. It is beyond the childish and pop. Thank you. More please.
CheckpointC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/20
I highly recommend this podcast, produced by the editors of City Journal, from the Manhattan Institute in New York. Hard hitting interviews and presentations o controversial and practical topics of urban policy, always with an eye towards arriving at the truth. Part of my regular podcast...Read full review »

Excellent coverage by Mt Sinai physician

Great in-depth coverage of the most critical issues facing our cities and country. A GREAT complement to the outstanding magazine and website!
KGD0127 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/20
Top flight reporting. They cover all sides of an issue and provide great insight into the cause of problems and the opportunities to solve. Solid reporting! If your serious about understanding social issues, you’ll enjoy 10 Blocks!
Macadoo34 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/20
I always look forward to 10 Blocks. Deep insight to many of the complex issues in our country and City.
Bhousto4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/20
A variety of interesting topics, discussed reasonably and logically. So refreshing...

Very good

Great podcast
Jake Foyle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/19
Very insightful. How were homeless helped in ‘old days’ and how were they taught to live successful lives? Caring people and organizations who trained and taught kids to learn success principles. Children can be rescued by formation of behavioral norms rather than trying to reform them after...Read full review »

Superb. I also heard about this pod from nat review’s editors pod. Advertising money well spent.

Like others, I heard about y’all on the National Review Editors podcast. Delighted to follow you—smart, brisk, temperate.
Wilber in OC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/19
This was recommended to me by NPROne under their “New Perspective.” I really respect that NPR has this built into their app. It’s nice to hear what kind of solutions the other side has to offer, even if I don’t agree with them. I would recommend the economic policy focused episodes like the one...Read full review »
