Stalin said something about quantity had a quality of its own. Remember they’re the Low Part of High/Low Mix - to free up the Burkes from non-carrier BG missions. The Perry-class FFG was the “VW bug of warships” - they could do everything, they just could do anything very well. Make them for a...Read full review »

Interview and content fantastic. Guests are super relevant and hosts drive engaging conversations. Only downside is the audio quality. I have to raise the volume to try to listen. Background noise can be disruptive at times. Love what you are doing but the sound quality does not do justice to the...Read full review »

Midrats is definitely a great podcast for anyone who wants a timely maritime perspective on national security issues.

Essential listening for members and students of the US Navy.

This podcast is only one of a few, and the best, that deals with national security in the maritime domain.

Company grade officer in the Marine Corps- Midrats helps me stay up to date on what’s going on and what the thinking is on the blue team. First naval podcast I listened to, sal and eagle one got me on to cimsec and USNI, as well as getting this jarhead to read “Fleet Tactics”

Very interesting show, the content and layout works, bud please do something with the sound. Often the guest voice has better quality than the host. Also the output volume is a little to low.

I love this podcast but your audio quality/mics need to be improved. I have to put my audio to the max just to clearly hear and it makes it hard to drive with it on
danielchacko via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/19
I agree wholeheartedly with all the reviewers praising the show’s content - it’s hard to find comparable programming anywhere else in the podcast world. The hosts are knowledgeable and have good radio voices and pacing. Please keep up the great work! Only issue is the audio quality - hard to...Read full review »

Consistenting interesting guests that have the time and inclination to answer complicated questions at length.
Matthew JS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/18
These guys are the real deal with the sarcasm to prove it! They discuss the issues our sea services are dealing with, bring in heavy hitter guests, and hold nothing back when the subject deserves it. Highly recommended!

I'm a Humanities Professor interested in history, naval strategy and foreign affairs. I discovered this podcast about a year ago and find it to be highly engaging.

Cdr Salamander and Eagle One have been my carpool partners for the past several years. They have a knack for getting a wide variety of interesting guests and engaging them with incisive questions.

Great job, guys! A million times better than the talking head shows for exploring defense policy. Highly recommended for the service academies as well as officers and civilian observers.
