Every time this podcast starts and I have to listen to an Amazon ad a small part of me dies. Please support the Intercept so they don’t have to take Amazon money. Keep them safe.

Ryan Grim has terrific interviewing skills which I appreciate in every episode. What’s more, he’s a skilled investigative reporter, which allows him to bring cutting edge journalism to this podcast. I look forward to every episode.

I have been listening to and deeply appreciating Deconstructed since it started. I am sad to see so many bad reviews based on just one episode, which ironically is one that I haven’t listened to. I might have been tempted to leave a bad review myself a few years ago after Mehdi‘s interview with...Read full review »

Ryan Grim brings on informed guests to discuss a wide range of relevant topics. He asks honest questions and gets deep into the issues. Definitely worth checking out.

Please remove that misinformation that wasted my time, or fix it, so that it is ad-free on Amazon prime. Then I’ll listen again, but meanwhile, you play too many ads. Thanks!

In not so fancy words, these guys have a target and they will not miss it even if all they have is half truths at best.

Thank You Ryan grim for raising election fraud issue of Pakistan , You Are atleast not State puppet
asimemi via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 01/05/24
If you are interested in hearing from diverse voices and opinions that are quite different than what you might typically hear on mainstream Western media, you will love this. The podcast goes behind the talking points that politicians use, and analyses the motivations and actions taking place...Read full review »

This interview with Alex Lawson of Medicare Works was hugely informative! He really helped me understand how important this breakthrough moment is when Medicare is able to negotiate drug prices for the first time. I had been following and trying to participate in the policy process for a long...Read full review »

I have found that I must turn to Intercepted and Deconstructed to really understand what is going on behind the headlines and mainstream news articles. I am very grateful for this 100% credible, thorough and unbiased information. Love Ryan Grim!

Rufo confuses his Communist Italian family with the democratic socialist left. I’m no more tied to Marcuse than the right is tied to Reagan. I’d suggest a good counselor to understand where his real issues lie and desist with the damage he is inflicting with his clever turn of phrases that are...Read full review »

I listened to this episode , and thought to myself - this dude is wyt. I always wondered why, when people go to IV league college and have these very basic comments on neo liberal culture and the people that participate in neo liberal leftism and just take that as the whole. If he had these...Read full review »

I love Deconstructed and have followed every episode since the beginning. This one made me feel infuriated. While I like Deconstructed’s balanced approach to current affairs, I’m sad that Ryan Grim did not hold Christopher Rufo accountable for his fascist views. As a mixed race person of color, I...Read full review »
Gat guy 1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/23
I like the podcast overall, the host is doing good work and is really well prepared for interviews. You can tell that he is a proper geek for the dry but vital stuff and really cares for the topic of the week. Caring for the dry but vital stuff is a strength in many ways, but I also skip many...Read full review »

Christopher Rufo was a liberal before becoming the culture war leader for the right. Must
jorgeviola via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/23
Somehow the move away from Pierre’s purse took a turn for the worse. Besides the ridiculous need to die on a hill defending the newsworthiness of pointless documents adding to a ramshackle conspiracy theory… this Rufo episode is exhausting. Rufo has caused a movement that chipped years off the...Read full review »
Pierre Ooooooo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/23
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 »

Ryan delves into complex stories and interviews great guests that won’t get airtime on legacy media. Love this podcast, I listen to every episode.
R M WW via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/23
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 »

Thank you for inviting guests from multiple perspectives and posing critical (critiquing) questions

Have loved every bit of Deconstructed since I got hooked to it.
Shahzad Mehr via Apple Podcasts · Pakistan · 03/17/23
This is my favorite news/politics Podcast around; it gives you meaningful takes and analysis of the given subject matter, real journalism, and thoughful interviews. This is not just a rehash of the talking points of the day.

Ryan is a journalist with a mountain of integrity. Loved the longer audio book format of the latest episode.

Keep the great stories coming!

They give a voice to the voiceless very informative where’s Jeremy Scahill?
rayahawn321 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/23
It is only in the United States that labels like “radical leftist“ are taken seriously when used to describe progressives. In almost every civilized, developed country on earth, the kinds of values these guys adhere to, and the journalistic work they do, is much more highly valued. Keep up the...Read full review »
Lonesome Lawyer via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/20/23
I’m really disappointed that Ryan Grim justified the genocide and murder of Palestinian civilians and children, along with the ongoing Apartheid regime by the occupying Israeli forces, legitimising the war crimes Israel by calling Israel a ‘country’. Unsubscribed. I suggest everyone else does...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.

The most deadly honest podcast available!!
In Cortasia via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/24/22
Tired of media that uses division as a engagement strategy? Ryan Grim effectively employs a traditional, common sense, non inflammatory approach to keeping his audience informed. He doesn’t insult our intelligence, nor does he sensationalize each and every opportunity to pit one demographic...Read full review »

I've been listening to this show for a while, and really appreciate the focus on various news and current events that seem be left out of a lot of mainstream media. This show and Intercepted, however, definitely have a bias in favor of men - men hosts and men guests. Just something I've...Read full review »
Simkha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/22
I’m always surprised by the breadth and depth of their journalism. They cover lots of topics that are less covered by larger, more American-centric news outlets. I like to think of them as a far more reliable Vice alternative.
estepcha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/22
Maia Hibbett and U.S. Microbiologist Joseph Osmundson make a complex, emotionally charged topic human and accessible. I’m so impressed and grateful for the episode: Biomedical Racism, Queer Theory, and the Monkeypox Epidemic and this podcast in general. Truly, such an endearing host and a...Read full review »

This podcast digs deep into important stories. I hear stuff on deconstructed that I don’t hear anywhere else. Glad I stumbled onto it in the mehdi Hasan days.
Bilco 321 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/22
i’ve been a reader of the intercept and consumer of just about all of their content since they launched. they used to punch up and expose. now they’re just msnbc with a little spice. nothing original or groundbreaking any more.
edppp9 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/22
Glenn Greenwald correctly separates his feelings about Islamaphobe jingoistic Flynn from actual merits of conviction. Concludes no reason to prosecute Kariakou Blumenthal & Matt Taibbi same conclusion. If you want to have debate over wether there’s grounds ok but ridiculous to assume it’s...Read full review »

Ryan Grim and co have created the best podcast for seeing the truth behind the news. The episode with Galbraith is top notch and broke down decades of neoliberal talking points.

Our world would be a very different place if all journalists had the same integrity as Ryan and his colleagues at the Intercept.

I live in Scotland but am always interested in American and other world politics. This podcast is one of the very few that I totally trust. If you think that there are other ways of organising ourselves and don’t believe that political parties are like football teams, something we are anchored...Read full review »

This show is the kind of inside baseball program that gets the gears turning and bring clarity to extremely opaque and complex gov/political issues. This program would really benefit though from primary host, Ryan Grim, to let guests speak and tell their story, share their knowledge. Grim...Read full review »

I really appreciate The Intercept is trying to objectively report the truth, the facts, wherever it leads and whomever it indicts. Bc of that, I’ve decided to contribute my measly $5/month to them, as opposed to the myriad other independent sources out there. Thank you.

Two episodes and I am hooked for life!
ThatsFaisalNotFlenicia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/22
Ryan Grimm is a national treasure. He does incredible relevant investigative journalism, has the highest journalistic standards (outshining most of the outlets he’s worked for), and produces the most consistently illuminating podcast I know. Hard to over-praise.
JohnnyA247 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/22
Every sentence and every clause of the episode I listened to was leftist dreck. Had higher hopes for it going in. Probably will still purchase the book, but couldn’t listen to the conversation as it never progressed. I guess I am hopelessly an imperialist, supremacist, bourgeois, dirty,...Read full review »
