“[updated 012316] I loved this podcast! Please bring it back!
I’m a long-time Political Gabfest fan, so naturally I wondered why Slate/Panoply needed something so seemingly duplicative. Well, I’m hooked. These three are pedigreed political scribes and, frankly, a lot funnier than the Gabfest team...”Read full review »

“Alex, Mark, and Annie have provided me with hours of laughter while I toiled away in my lab. Their wit and intelligence has made me long for a better trivia team for Geeks who Drink Tuesdays. I guess I'll just have to shamelessly creep their Twitter feeds and reread Mark's books.”

“I am a political junkie and I listen to several political podcasts but Podcast for America is my favorite. The hosts, Alex Wagner, Mark Leibovich and Annie Lowry, are informative, funny and irreverent. I love the insider viewpoint. It always feels like I'm in the know, hearing their "real" views...”Read full review »

“Podcasts are as good as their hosts, and Podcast for America's hosts are very good. Leibovich's grounded no-nonsense analysis, Alex Wagner's wit, Annie Lawrey's funny too and even the occasional Mike Pesca manages to be less annoying and more interesting than on his own podcast. I was wondering...”Read full review »

“I listen to a lot of political podcasts, from The Weeds (very policy heavy) to So That Happened (funny and in-depth policy discussions), Left, Right, Center, and on and on and on.
I love Podcast for America. Its amusing and love the insiders view of the beltway”

“Its a good dose of irreverence in a landscape of overly serious political podcasts. Best part is that Annie Alex and Mark actually know what they’re talking about. Its nice to hear what reporters have to say when they, so to speak, let their hair down.”

“I really enjoyed the book by Mark Leibovitz about insider DC, so thought I would enjoy this. Unfortunately, after a month plus of listening I have to admit it's not that good. Segments are too short to allow any detailed discussion, and then they are shortened further by the banter that is pretty...”Read full review »

“There's a saying that Washington D.C. is Hollywood for ugly people. I have no idea what Leibovich, Lowrey, and Wagner look like but the sentiment of that expression applies to this show. This is pure beltway inside-baseball, a liberal gossip-fest that hardly rises above the discrusive level of...”Read full review »

“It's a much needed change of pace in my Podcast consumption. It's shamelessly liberal, childish at times but endearing. KCRW left right and center offers the most substance but Podcast for America highlights some insiders enjoying themselves and the field.”

“I thoroughly enjoy listening as I work from home. I am a bit of a news junkie so I have a basic understanding when I come in. If you are looking for raw news this is not it. It is a deeper dive past the headlines with some irreverent humor brought in. Imagine the green room for a news network is...”Read full review »

“This is just a great fun podcast with clever, witty, people talking about the insanity of the presidential campaign. No, it doesn’t cover serious policy issues but its remit is clearly to focus on the campaign and the nonsense around it, not the wider political world or more substantive issues.”

“Apparently this is a group of actual journalists, who, given the freedom of a podcast have trouble staying on topic. Expect quite a bit of talk that veers off on a tangent and some yammering on about nothing. Somewhere in there there might be an insightful thought, but don't expect too many.”
