“This is not a good podcast. Ryan systematically platforms political figures and their funders who are meant to draw votes away from the DNC candidates, in favor of helping the GQP further dismantle civil rights and democracy.
He also LOVES platforming “Libertarians.” I unfollowed as his slate...”Read full review »

“I’m a liberal. Let’s start there. This interview was miserable. An hour of unfalsifiable claims with zero pushback or challenges. I had to keep closing my mouth because my chin kept dropping at all the nonsense that was being spewed. Just saying “nuance” and then proceeding to grossly generalize...”Read full review »

“Ryan used to be pretty great at interviews but now let’s guest say lies and he doesn’t keep them in check. I’ve heard several episodes now with propaganda talking points from the far right and there is no accountability. This podcast does a disservice to its listeners. I’m no longer a listener.”
