To start the latest episode Jen talks about how she supports everything she talks about on the show with facts. Within 3 minutes of her actually starting the show (after her asking for funding) she goes into editorializing against Israel. Seems over the past 2ish years she’s turned more...Read full review »

Left or Right, what happens in congress happens to us, and we should care. Sadly, I can’t get this information in my news subscriptions.

THE BEST history & explanation of the Israel /Palestine conflict anywhere. Thank you Jen Briney
Evan4sh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
I gave five stars because Jennifer Britney is doing a hard job and a very important job but I’m on the verge of unsubscribing because she spends so much time yelling at listeners who do not pay her and trying to shame them. If you listen, and you should, prepare for the whole narrative to change...Read full review »

The information in Congressional Dish is outstanding. I’ve listened for the last year and now have a much better sense of what is happening in the US government, especially in foreign policy. The host is compelling to listen speaker and even though I don’t agree with her on everything, she cites...Read full review »

When you want to find out what is actually happening in government, there is no other source for what happens in the legislative branch. I am a paid subscriber and I wait eagerly on the edge of my seat for each episode. Jen Briney presents an unbiased summary of hearings and findings, but she...Read full review »

I tried to listen to this- my head was exploding/I am a serious adult woman & a hyperdramatic fan girl gushing was just too much.

I drive a tractor trailer for a living .. I don't know how drivers managed in the old days before even 8-track players but without podcasts I could not do my job. As a result I have waded through a lot of garbage and found some absolutely excellent shows. This one really stands out.Read full review »

Anyone slaying anything but praise for Jen B is a complete fool. She does all the work and yet a few loudmouths complain. Reporting on the (in)actions of Congress in a descriptive and nonpartisan way is terrific. #3 explained a lot about the corporatist's history screwing over the working...Read full review »

This is a real eye-opener to American congressional processes and politics. Utterly fascinating and enlightening in the truest sense of the word.
mattamorph via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/23
Wow! The quality of research and reporting here is really high quality. The host is engaging and smart and avoids partisanship to bring us behind the scenes of Congress. Absolutely essential listening if you want to know how the government actually works.
Fenway67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/23
Great getting the insightful highlights into what is going on in the government that I don’t have time to seek out myself.
TimInSc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/23
I can’t believe this podcast exists. It dives extremely deeply into Congress and laws and makes everything so much more simple than I would think is possible. Thank you!
johnmerkinstock via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/23
If you really want to know how Congress operates, this pod is invaluable!
Deanz7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/23
I am so appreciative for all of the research and effort that Jen puts into each episode to summarize topics with a lot of detail and simplify the many things that congress and the government are doing and/or are not doing. She does a great job of presenting the information that she researches in...Read full review »
mrscabraja via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/23
Honest, to the point, and discusses facts. Refreshing to hear government issues without a talking head. She has no partisan bias and all issues that are partisan are created by the party themselves. Lovely show will be number 2 next to Jocko 😜
Sittingredchair via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/23
Great information in detail. Covers every base. If you want to learn more about congress and what it does and how it impacts you then this pod is for you.
Laedon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/23
The host takes the time to read bills and watch hearings to tell her audience what congress is actually doing. Regardless of your political learnings, this show is a great resource. Sometimes the laws the host uncovers can even save you money!
MarkSweep via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/23
Amazing pod. She does a great job detailing each topic of discussion backed with factual researched information.
Taurean_C via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/23
Found this through another podcast and have loved it so far. Jen brings a balanced and well researched approach to topics that she talks about.
krisK42 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
Well researched and documented discussions about what is actually happening in congress. Jenn actually reads the bills and listens to the hearings and brings nuggets of truth that you won’t hear anywhere else.
Jjmtuba via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
This podcast does a fantastic job of summarizing the inner workings of what happens in congress, which is a refreshing take from other politics based media. Jen doesn’t hide her bias, and while I don’t always agree with her she at least does a great job of voicing why she feels the way she does...Read full review »
Portojohny via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/23
I’ve listened to about 30 podcasts from Jennifer over the last year or so. So this opinion is based off her last year of podcasts. She does great research, no denying that, undoubtedly reads more bills, etc than some congressman. So that part is great. Who has time to read the hundreds or...Read full review »

Amazing! I listen to this for all things congressional. I love that she posts all of her sources, and meticulously researched her work.
emwalkervc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/23
A must listen if you want to know what is happening in Congress.
Mt.poop via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/23
Well researched, fair and in depth. Really the only thing in its class in terms of non-partisan, detailed and accessible US Gov focused media. Keep it up!
stu cog via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/03/23
In reading some recent reviews, someone mentioned that Jen dangerously downplayed the Covid19 crisis. This is just not true. She made a few comments in one of her thank you episodes that was wrong, but she admitted it (as she always does if she makes a mistake) the very next episode. She also...Read full review »

I love this show. Full of receipts, and insightful information. My only complaint is that there are not enough episodes!
atebithero via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/23
Everything is honest and well researched. I don’t agree with all of her opinions, but I am so glad this podcast exists.
MacBKin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/23
Thank you for doing the research I don’t have enough time to do myself.
Surrenderadream via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/23
Love the perspective and the info.
James838/9/9:& via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/23
Such wasted potential. She would serve her audience well by announcing her bias upfront. Was really looking forward to listening on a regular basis. Might check in from time to time to see if spirals down the woke left rabbit hole or offers the pursuit of truth.
Stcook66 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/23
I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and Jen has opened my eyes to the craziness that goes on in our name. I’ve also been a Patron for a while now. She reports what she reads in Bills and Laws from an outside the “ Bubble “ perspective that a layperson can understand; because she is a...Read full review »

Well researched, well delivered. Really good!
B. Birdell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/23
I listen to this every episode and have listened to the entire back catalog. Must listen to learn SO much about our government, and how the US interacts and impacts the world.
KatK1121 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/23
The amount of detail that Jen puts in to researching and producing each episode is truly unmatched in the podcast industry. Every episode, she shows time and time again the value that her podcast provides to listeners — from explaining the details of a new bill, to informing me about hidden...Read full review »
CStaff42096 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/23
What Jen does in this podcast is so important to this country. She gives a very unbiased and non partisan view on what good and (mostly) bad Congress is doing, and that the mainstream media isn’t paying attention to. Every American should listen (and donate)!
Therunningpilot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/23
This podcast is fantastic in so many ways. Jennifer is an educator of what Congress legislates. We should all be thankful for her efforts.
Brenthym via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/23
Jen is talented, engaging, clever as well as passionate about democracy and due process. The fortnightly Congressional deep dishes are more than just a great listen they are probably the only oversight much of Congress receives. In summary this show matters.
MorbidBMI via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/31/23
For those of you looking for a middle ground political podcast, check this one out! Jen does a really good job of digging into bills that are becoming law, researching the history behind related legislative topics, calling out politicians on both sides by identifying their lobbying funding...Read full review »
Shellbear via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/23
Absolutely phenomenal. Jen has her opinions, and you won't always agree with her, but that's because her opinions are her own and don't fall exclusively along party lines. She acknowledges and owns her bias, which makes her a much more trustworthy a source.Read full review »
Misbegotten Thief via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/31/23
Jennifer Briney does the work to research what happens in hearings and talk about all the things that get done or don’t get done by the people we elect. She is nonpartisan and the podcast focuses on what is discussed and passed by Congress and the House and all the nonsense that happens when...Read full review »
Kuniyo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/23
This is the type of information I’ve always wanted. Political podcasts focus on the drama and horse races of politics and not what politicians are actually doing in their jobs. Jen can upset both sides of the isle because she isn’t rooting for either party; which I find refreshing but others...Read full review »
TheNightCafe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/23
This is THE podcast to listen to if you’re a true nerd about government. If you believe that policy can make a significant difference (whether it’s good or bad), this show is for you. Jen does a phenomenal job turning what could be a very dry concept into something that's interesting and fun...Read full review »
incostantemoto via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/23
Ok….I can see where some people might not agree with all comments. HOWEVER, I will commend Jen for stating and acknowledging any biases before speaking. Truth of the matter is - we all have biases. The ppl who concern me are the ones who can’t acknowledge this. What I appreciate and respect more...Read full review »

Love the show Jen does a great job breaking down bills and explaining what these people are doing in our name with our money.
Leodin-vek via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/23
This is a must for anyone who cares about what Congress is actually doing instead of what they, and the media, say they are doing. If we had more people like Jen who actually read and understood what was going through Congress we might actually get a few things fixed. The Jan. 6th episode was so...Read full review »
