“I have followed his various shows for years, since his CNN days. He’s always tilted left of center but tried to be fair.
He also used to be crisp and entertaining. Recently he has become long winded and slow. He is almost painful to listen to.
The final straw for me however has been his...”Read full review »

“Last week’s episode regarding the three state legislators who illegally fostered a riot in the legislative chambers was so void of incriminating facts regarding the perpetrators, it was revolting. Howie normally treads a fair reporter’s path of being impartial with regards to providing both...”Read full review »

“With critical thinking at the core of this podcast, Howard is a breath of fresh air reminding us what a true journalist sounds like. The state of our country is a referendum on the state of education. Fear mongering conspiracy theorists who are too fragile to hear another perspective will not...”Read full review »

“Great podcast, but too much Trump and primary coverage. I’m having to skip a lot of your cast because of Trump fatigue. Please spare us.”

“Big fan of Howard Kurtz...until today. NO mention of FoxNews Dominiongate disclosures. Biggest media story of the year and my goto expert is MUTED. SAD!

“I’d give this a 4 out of 5, but the Fox News commercials are WAY TOO LOUD. Whoever produces this podcast really needs to fix that; it’s BAD.
Aside from the jacked up commercial volume, this is a solid conservative podcast. I’ve watched/listen to Howie for over 2 decades. I wish he were not so...”Read full review »

“Howard is generally great. My biggest peeve is that when he quotes a passage from an article he will interject many asides and comments. But he NEVER says “quote/unquote” so you don’t know if he’s reading or pontificating. As a journalist he should do better.”

“If you are going to spend every podcast episode haranguing about unfair coverage of Donald Trump you will lose me. I have been a faithful daily listener from the start. I love the behind the scenes descriptions of your Sunday show. Donald Trump has created the media environment. Frankly I think...”Read full review »

“Howie! Big fan-been listening to your podcast since it began - and media buzz before that. Always appreciate you low-key NORMALLY balanced narration of current events. Generally, you help me get an idea of what’s going on in the world and not be discouraged or angry afterward. But I gotta tell ya...”Read full review »

“All the chat about Herschel Walker. I just don’t get it. He shouldn’t even be in a race for Senate. NO qualifications either the exception of being endorsed by the former President, whose name will not be uttered. Former Republican here and this race is just one of many examples why.”

Thank you always for what you are doing for “the societal fabric of our planet”. Keep up the good work. The balance of your presentation is nothing short of soothing.”

“On Friday’s pod you referred FOUR times to England’s new king as “King Phillip III”, instead of the factual King Charles III. And it’s Balmoral Castle, not “Balmorale.”
Makes me question your research and facts on all other stories.”

“Howie is a piece of [email protected]! If he can make it in media then literally anybody can. My dog would do a better job than this guy. Blow your nose before recording your silly little podcast. You sound disgusting. And you really need to stop making half of your stories about yourself. Lazy! Come on,...”Read full review »

How can you even suggest that a cross examination would not matter? Our entire justice system is based...”Read full review »

“I used to enjoy this podcast and his weekly TV show because Kurtz took a balanced view and served as a fair minded constructive critic of the media. Over the past couple years he’s become more of a liberal cheerleader who no longer focuses on the media as much as he applauds the Democrats and...”Read full review »

“Howie understands the media like no other because he’s been there, done that, from print to TV to blogging and his absolute element, the podcast. He calls out media excesses on both sides, which makes him a rarity. He’s literary and verbally stylistic. Alone among podcasters, you’ll never catch...”Read full review »
