Trump is out of office, yet these clowns rather rehash fake news vs. covering the demented blithering idiot that craps in his pants. Jao Xiden was the biggest scam foisted on the American public, yet the hosts fiddles a tune about a President who put America first while the nation burns to the...Read full review »

Really gives a serious look and the authoritarian trends gaining ground in the world and the resistance to these bad actors. Could use more economic analysis but still super helpful
ENP48230 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/21
Each episode has had me repeatedly dropping my jaw in awe of what I’m learning (and I work in this field)! Ben examines and analyzes the most important issues, trends, and developments that aren’t just defining our current geopolitical environment but will change things for years to come. It’s...Read full review »

Couldn’t listen during the election season because of my nerves, but now that president elect Biden & secretary Blinken will restore liberal internationalism, I am binging the series. !!!! so relieved
LenaJones77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/20
I stumbled upon this gem of a podcast after being enthralled with Pod Save the World. As someone who finds these topics daunting at first sight, Ben Rhodes with his insightful narrative about the issues that plague our society is a breath of fresh air, downright informative, and easily...Read full review »

Great show, many thanks!!!

I hope this isn’t a mini series. It really should be a recurring thing! Love it.
Sayslife via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 11/14/20
Such a smart, informed take. Ben, I would love to hear you monitoring how things change over the next four years.
Taking care of Mom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/12/20
Now that Biden has won, I’d love to see further analysis from Ben on what needs to be done to untangle the damage of the former administration.
WannaGoOutside via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/20
I had to wait until Donald Trump was defeated in order to listen to this podcast ,which I eagerly downloaded every week. I just couldn’t bear to listen to the string of damages - narrated by an unmistakably heartbroken , albeit hopeful, Rhodes - that Trump’s rule was inflicting on the world ,...Read full review »

mollybrooklyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/20
Read the room, Ben. The world hates American military interventions and coups first, Trump second. Missing America? Whatever makes you sleep better at night, I guess - let’s pretend the world actually misses a world where your weapons and sanctions don’t starve and kill millions of civilians...Read full review »
Kyin567 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/20
I am so sick and tired of celebrity anchors tattle tailing on the actions of D.J.T. but providing little substance! Desperate for information that discusses how we got here and the best path forward, Missing America came across my feed. Ben Rhodes succeeds in educating us by presenting the good,...Read full review »

Please do more episodes. This was great insight to the White House and foreign policy.
Nqthomas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/20
I confess I am a huge fan of Ben Rhodes, but this series was informative and inspiring. It’s a great reminder of how privileged we are as Americans, and how important it is that we fight for our democracy. Highly recommend!
new in ok via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/20
Thanks for an informative episode. This may be a wrong spot to do this. I know Jake Sullivan from his high school days because I was the yearbook advisor and had to ask him for information to be included. He was the School Newspaper editor. I also worked with his mother for several years. It is a...Read full review »

An extremely well done podcast. If you’re voting for trump. Listen to this. If you’re voting for Biden. Listen to this. The world is too complex for sound bites and tweets.
meenanadia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/20
An amazing podcast conducted by an inspiring person and leader. Thanks Ben!
noveseiseiottocinque via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 10/08/20
scary, but also hopeful!
sarah.hunter8 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/07/20
I’m not American so was sceptical of the idea that the US is the Chosen One, but was captivated by the behind the scenes information and context around events. Ben is clear eyed about the stuff we are all a little panicked about, but the guests and material always offer hope and a path forward....Read full review »
Snailchick! via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/07/20
I love and follow many podcasts from Crooked Media, but this one goes right to the heart and soul of the country that I grew up in. Remember when we were hearing “this is a battle for the soul of our country”? Dan reminds us here of what we had and can have again if we get out there and vote.
KathyStern via Apple Podcasts · Mexico · 10/06/20
Missing America is as good & informative as Breaking Bad was to watch. I listened to the episodes when they came out. Now I’m gonna binge the whole thing.
Tellonecone via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/20
There will be a big void in my Tuesdays now that the series has ended. More Ben Rhodes, please.
KateSMN via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/20
Ben, Thanks for putting the spotlight in some of the most important issues the world faces today. Putting a global perspective and not just the US is the need of the hour. Showing what we do here has an impact around the world is absolutely needed. This is a awesome podcast!
Priglobalcitizen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/20
This is a must listen podcast. Highly recommend. A chance to learn about the important ways our country fits into the functioning of the world. A peek behind the scenes of what it means to be a world leader and what needs to be done to urgently restore trust and effectiveness at the...Read full review »

Brilliant and educational podcast about current political matters
TPanteli via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 10/04/20
Ben Rhodes has delivered a superb series of podcasts that deliver clear insight into the impact that Trump’s presidency has had on the rest of the world. Highly recommended.
Danilou112 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/30/20
Ben! Worldo here. I love the new podcast. I am so far behind on all my podcasts due to kids being home still due to Covid. The first few episodes were amazing and I don’t hesitate to say I’m sure the full series will be educational as well as inspiring.
Mwaite08 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/20
Ben does an amazing job taking us through the reality of America’s role as a leader. We’ve become a shell of what we were in the recent past. The pod comes off as a narrative and keeps you engaged the whole time. Reminds me of listening to my favorite teacher who had life experience of the...Read full review »
Andrindis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/20
I absolutely LOVE this podcast 🥰 Ben Rhodes is a rockstar 🤩 This is in no way meant to diminish the other awesome amazing podcasts Crooked Media puts out, I adore those as well
Barbara Wants More 😉 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/20
This is one of the more intelligent, thoughtful and insightful podcasts that I have listened to recently. It explains the problematic effect of the withdrawal of the United States from its traditional position of leadership in the world, but also provides a roadmap of how the US can address...Read full review »
afcarlson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/20
Ben Rhodes should not be considered an intellectual thought leader in any sense of the word. His positions on basically every ongoing global conflict is just wrong. He’s a clown.
statedept1515 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/20
Really insightful, well presented and includes cracking first hand perspectives. Please share this with anyone you know considering to vote for Trump. It may just be the thing that convinces them otherwise.
Bokke 2019 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/29/20
Remember when our country was led by thoughtful, intelligent people? Ben Rhodes’ informed reporting reminds us that they are still out there, with great ideas and reasons for hope. Each episode gives wise background on the issues shaping our place in the world today, with voices of those who were...Read full review »
JoyceOfCooking via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/20
An unconventional structure where Ben reads a series of adverts, often in another room, interspersed with insightful analysis of the global impact of the loss of American leadership.

Ben does a great job with this pod
mattchili via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/20
Wow
Episode on misinformation is awesome I’ve shared it with a lot of people.
78milehigh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/20
Fascinating, detailed, eye opening, educational, well crafted—just listen
heidksnrvecr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/20
Really accessible, very educational and just a great way to learn about the problems in our world and the steps we can take to solve them.
gongers52 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/23/20
Presents arguments that are easily overturned by conservatives. Maybe stop reminiscing about Air Force one and spend that time crafting rigorous arguments
choir preacher via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/20
A brilliant, informative and seriously thought provoking podcast exposing listeners to thinkers and leaders at home and from around the world who are left to deal with the void and consequences of “Trump America first” approach.
Yawhozy via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/22/20
I look forward to this one every week. Ben is smart and his guests offer real insight into global politics. So far the Nationalism episode is my favorite.
KCProf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/20
Honestly, I never provide reviews, but this is absolutely brilliant. Ben gives such context on how the world has ended up the way it has... and in such an interesting and thorough way. From India to Myanmar to America, I couldn’t get this level of engaging context from reading all the books...Read full review »
