“I recognize quality even when I disagree with the conclusions. So, thank you for giving me a fascinating and fresh perspective on people I have been reading most of my life. You have a good, if biased podcast and despite the mild cognitive dissonance, I find the show enjoyable and interesting.”

“The only podcast that gets the right mix of casual and intellectual. Unlike self-proclaimed centrist ghouls propagating their views as that of the majority, Sam and Matt are very clear about their positions and also show an immense respect to the intellectual world of their "enemies."...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a bit frustrated because, as a leftist passionate about Palestinian liberation, this program has been silent about the atrocities in Gaza and Palestine more generally. Thank you for finally talking about Palestine—but this discussion should not be for paying followers. Please open it...”Read full review »

“This really is my favorite podcast. It is smart, but not snarky. And there is a genuine curiosity about different ideas not just some kind of gotcha game of looking for hypocrasy. But... it just is sooo many white guys. Whenever there is a woman or a person of color on as a guest it is a breath...”Read full review »

“It’s not necessary, but still probably worthwhile, to say first that I don’t agree with the hosts about everything. I’m commenting as a fan, not a devotee.
And the comment is just that I’m terrifically grateful for the show. Listening has done me a lot of good.
I hope Adler-Bell and Sitman can...”Read full review »

“The history of the American Right has been lost to history. You’re just not going to get more interesting and engaging content about the Birchers, Paleocons, Anti-Jesuits, Milton Friedman, William F Buckley, or really anything tangentially related to the American Right from anywhere else.”

They discuss the historical dynamics and the internal debates shaping its evolution since 1945 as well as its more recent worrisome populist/reactionary turn. Most importantly, they do so with...”Read full review »

“…even a funny one.
And the hosts can do a good job when they avoid hysteria & overstatement…._when_.
But it can also be maddening when it assumes too much, offers grand generalizations without supporting facts. Listen and you’ll hear.”

“I love this pod. It is probably the most intelligent pod I subscribe too. Amazing insights.
Funny, I think it is has made me more conservative because the hosts treat their subject with such respect. Sometimes when you get to know your enemy, you realize their viewpoint is valid too!”
