“If you want a podcast that is about the practice of politics that seems unconcerned about the truth or the stakes, this podcast is for you! The host comes across as not particularly partisan (so that’s a plus!) but also deeply cynical and disillusioned.
I listened to this podcast during the 2020...”Read full review »

“This show is awful. Trump propaganda. Not even sure Tara knows she’s supposed to be interviewing, not just blowing trump all episode.”

“Wondering why Tara just doesn’t formally endorse Trump. The entire pod with McLaughlin is virtually a Trump commercial. She allows the Trump employee to spew the same lies we all hear from 2016, 2020 and 2024 with almost zero pushback. I understand providing a forum but to be completely silent in...”Read full review »

“I genuinely like the show, but in the last few weeks it’s been one gop strategist after another. The show is meant to be about the current ‘24 election, but seems to wallow in “what’s going on with Trump?” show to show. It gets tedious. Please bring in more Democrat voices to even out the deluge...”Read full review »

“Could NOT listen to show on Trump and abortion due to horrible sound. Your guest was on a speaker phone (?) and could barely understand him. Turned it off. Do better, please.”

“Gagging down the agendas from the political parties puts my Prozac in therapy. However, this charming host provides the glitter to the hope, in navigating the noise. She avoids typical headline grabbing abuse from misunderstood voters while simplifying comments from guests by asking clarifying...”Read full review »

Tara is ill informed (as evidenced by the number of times guests have to correct her on basic facts), not a good interviewer and just...”Read full review »

“While I can tell the host definitely leans liberal which doesn’t align with me exactly, I think she’s pretty fair and she has a wide range of guests on. I see other reviews bad mouthing it, but I believe that’s because they’re people that are so full on democrats or so full on republicans that...”Read full review »

“I love pretty much every Ringer show, and I’m a diehard political junkie. However, this show is a tough listen. The host struggles in interviews and it feels way below the typical professionalism found at the Ringer.”

“I was already a little put off by this podcast since it started. The host can be pretty combative and it doesn’t feel genuine. Having Meghan McCain on the podcast is sort of the nail in the coffin. You expect your listeners to still take you seriously?”

“This host is an example of the problem with American political media today. Overly focused on the “game” without proper understanding or analysis of the facts or policy or really anything at all. This podcast is what you get if Stephen A Smith covered politics without being half as entertaining.”

“I've learned a lot and love the host and guest.

Tara’s sardonic, skeptical, sarcastic tone is the perfect narration to our Number 1 rated reality show. Keep on rockin in the...”Read full review »

“These days the simple act of talking to a right wing politician that hasn’t gone full CNN application is considered heresy on the left. So yes this pod breaks that norm.

“Nice to hear a podcast about the election (vs politics). People want to see what’s under the veil and Tara Palmeri does a great job on getting inside the Trump and DeSantis campaigns’ mindsets. The New Hampshire expert, Matthew Bartlett was excellent.”
