John, this is bad-faith propaganda. Ritchie Torries brought what to the Michigan turnout? You got that bigot onto your podcast and didn't ask him how he's serving his constituents by spending so much of his time carrying water for AIPAC. And you conveniently left AIPAC's meddling in...Read full review »

I might be mistaken but isn’t this the person that wanted Pelosi replaced?? Not sure it is wise to take his advice.

This was the most reasonable rational explanation of Democrats loss last Tuesday. Lots of people in the campaign and in office need to be educated on the working class and race. Wish we could sit them done and make them really hear this. I would also say that some of older leadership needs to...Read full review »

Seth Moulton says the American voters are not stupid…..Nonsense!!! Even if every problem Moulton outlined about the dems was a fact, they are far better off with Harris than what’s to come under Trump. This was the easiest choice people could have been given. They were conned by a con man. ...Read full review »

Big John, I’m a very Big fan going back to Game Change and With All Due Respect….I look forward to you bringing Killer Mike back to your podcast to understand where he thinks the Dems have gone wrong!!!

Nice range of experts on this show- that’s why I listen regularly. I will say, Heilimann likes the sound of his own voice, but that’s remedied with the fast forward option

This guy has a great knack for clear-eyed takes on media and politics. I am glad he’s out there speaking common sense, particularly at a time like this.

John you may not remember me but I used to sell you suits way back in the day at Ralph Lauren. In addition to thinking you’re one of the coolest and smartest media “personalities”, I love your podcast. Your postmortem today on the Harris campaign on was so spot on, especially starting at 52:21....Read full review »

I have followed you from the circus, guest spots everywhere and your own podcasts. This last pre election episode with Nicole Wallace was one of the most ignorant commentary I have heard so far. You talked for 90 minutes w/o ONE mention of how and why harris alienated so many voters. It’s the...Read full review »

Love Nicolle. Great show.
pokerchick69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/05/24
When John announced this new show I was excited because I knew it would be good, yet I was wrong… Because it’s GREAT. He is so insightful and witty; well-spoken and providing such depth, yet still completely relatable. He is entertaining and makes me smarter. I’m so grateful! Keep it up John, we...Read full review »

When a discussion with Tim Snyder & Anne Applebaum couldn’t be more dire & chilling, John H pivots to another dynamic duo ( Costa & Martin). John always asks the same questions I have and drills with his guests to get the most succinct responses. Thank you for your focus and excellent...Read full review »

John is insightful, a master of alliteration, extraordinarily well spoken, yet completely relatable. His guests, to a one, offer wonderful viewpoints, and I find myself rapt to each episode, not wanting them to end.

What more do I need to say- Plenty! Great show. I’m actually choked up with the prospects of you four not front and center in my day one way or the other. You have entertained, explained, comforted and influenced me. When Kamala wins next week you’ll all be needed to guide us through a new...Read full review »

Man, I adore Jason Bateman, but Jesus John, get out of your own way.
Suzikynn541 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/24
Great interview! Jason Bateman is such a good human being. I particularly loved the way he explained the dissonance he has with those who would still chose Trump after all he has done. Bateman talked about our fellow citizens respectfully but with alarm and dismay. I feel the same way - and I...Read full review »

Love this man and Smartless! Great interview with the man that has a whole lot of smarts.
laurainminnesota via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/24
This episode is a must listen. I haven’t heard the idea of fascism explained so well before and it highlights how a democracy can deteriorate. If you think it can’t happen here because America is “Exceptional”, then think again. I have seen individual interviews with Anne Applebaum and Timothy...Read full review »

This podcast is always worthwhile, and a good listen; as John so good at what he does. That said, today's (10/25/2024) episode with Anne Applebaum and Timothy Snyder doing a deep dive into fascism, historical and the present, is the most intelligent, relevant piece of media I've absorbed...Read full review »

I am a very proud Canadian who is addicted to the drama happening south of our border. Thank you for explaining the chaos occurring that will no doubt have some repercussions on our political climate. These are very scary times and I don’t understand how that clown can be so close to winning...Read full review »

Re: the one with Michigan Democratic congresswoman Debbie Dingell. I could add a laundry list of why some people claim they don’t know who the Vice President of the US is or why y’all white can’t seem to say the reason why so many of y’all are still caping for Trump is because it’s about...Read full review »

Tough to understand the appeal here. He’s not a very good interviewer.
nbsfmc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/24
Another one sided Dem pundit pontificating about politics in the usual biased way. Don’t waste your time. Puck is failing for a reason.
Xxzzqw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/24
John’s voice is necessary in our current climate, down to earth, smart, yet simple, and honest. I wish I had found this podcast sooner. I discovered John on The Circus on Showtime and always left that show wanting more- so this is that more!
thiswillkillthat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/24
John, the 2020 election polls were NOT wrong. The final poll before voting predicted Biden would win by 7.9%. After the count, he won by 4.9% - within the 3.5% margin of error. In votes, that turned out to be a little over 7 million. Kamala is up optimistically by 3%. Biden barely won because of...Read full review »

Love JH but his eating and/or drinking, finger licking/sucking, lip smacking and heavy breathing on mic is gross and unprofessional. Please stop. Thanks, Kurt

Just heard the fantastic podcast focused on Carville. Thank you Heilemann for being so good at what you do; I’m happy to hear that you’re adding a third show each week through January!

I really have enjoyed the post debate shows. Fun, candid discussions about the Debaters. Too bad that’s it for this election cycle!
MelBeach151 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/02/24
Hellmann tries to curry favor in every appearance he has. On or off podcast. If anyone challenges him he immediately backtracks. Guess that’s how he gets his gigs

Loved the interview interesting to hear his take on a potential Kamala Harris administration.
Nan-fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/24
I like you and your show but please can you better regulate the volume of your voice. You veer between full and clear and low and almost mumbled, making it even harder to follow the verbal loop-the-loops you so enjoy. Most people are doing something else while listening to any podcast—driving,...Read full review »

Heilemann fan here from a long time back - love this new iteration of his interviews.

Pro tip John: don’t eat and host a podcast at the same time. Swallow. Smack. Etc.
mayorofcasterbridge via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/24
I have enjoyed this show since finding it when Biden dropped out and Harris was the choice. Has been great listening!
AceCDC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/24
The range and intelligence of John’s conversations make Impolitic a must-listen with each drop.
satijul via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/24
I hope someday John, you write a book compiling all your introductions. They are masterpieces. Your interviews are great but the way you capture the essence of everyone you talk to is must listen radio for me.
Lurking Baby Boomer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/24
I like hearing his opinions and observations and those of his guests. I love the fact that John is NOT a jackass.
Nicky2287 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/24
John is the best. Thoughtful, funny, and irreverent.

John Heileman is always on point! Love this podcast!

Excellent discussion of the POTUS debate 👍 informative and valuable to get behind the scenes and expose what the night meant for the campaign teams. Well done keeping it up to November 👏

Stealing tweets and regurgitating them as original thoughts, meh
Me, Brian via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/24
Alex was interesting but John kept on & on about about how the convention was like a concert or whatever. It was annoying. Alex is explaining how it impacted him while John acts like flippant jerk. Needs to take his jaded act down a notch or 20…
