“Ken truly has an unrivaled knowledge of politics, and it's great he recently decided to continue his podcast. I've been a listener of his since he was at NPR, and he is so much better now in his own show. Ken also has a deep respect for democracy, the great leaders of our country, and the...”Read full review »

“I’ve been tuning into Ken Rudin since his NPR days. There’s never been one lame episode or ho-hum show. He delivers! This is the podcast for true political junkies - those who appreciate the history of US politics and the journalists who cover it.”

“The worst mistake NPR has ever made was shutting down the original podcast with Ken and Ron Elving together.
Their deep knowledge of politics and history combined with the pun and joke competition with each other was the highlight of any week.
And here Ken continued on his own with...”Read full review »

“This episode is a hit job on a horrific injury of a republican (which is important because this would never be the case with a dem) and is the reason I will be unsubscribing. I’m sad because I thought you have been quite fair to both sides. Unfortunately their aren’t any great podcast for a...”Read full review »

“Let me first say that ANY podcast, especially political, that includes sound clips from The Sex Pistols is doing a fine job reporting the news.
Now that’s out of the way, I can say how wonderful it is to find a show that gets down to the nitty-gritty and play-by-plays across the political...”Read full review »

“Fantastic analysis of current politics with deep dives into historical precedents and events. This would be 5 stars but all the unnecessary bumper music makes the podcast far too long and requires constant fast forwarding.”

“These days, when kindness, decency, and a good natured sense of humor that’s actually meant to make people laugh and not cause someone else pain, have all but disappeared from the world of politics, I’m thankful for someone like Ken Rudin. His podcast is fascinating, informative, and always good...”Read full review »

“Ken Rudin not only interviewed sexual-predator-Bob Packwood on his May 24, 2018 podcast, but he failed to even mention that Packwood was forced out of the senate because he repeatedly sexually assaulted women. In Packwood’s own telling, one of these women wouldn’t have entered the xerox room in...”Read full review »

He takes on conservatives, liberals, and everyone in between with respect and civility. He manages to ask the tough questions and still maintain his guest’s respect.
