This is a great little podcast. Short, informative thoughts on the political events of the week. Great chemistry between Karri and Ken, and good interactions with call ins, who are by and large well spoken. Keep it up!

(Side note, not to be confused with “Ken Rudin’s Political Junkie.”). The rating reflects the podcast itself and not the content. The segments are still some of the most informative 15-minute round-ups of the political week. However, I am not clear what the point is of having a separate podcast...Read full review »
Ken Rudin Junkie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/11/18
I am so confused as to why Kerri Miller would start her show talking about a button for several minutes but never describe it. Seems like a radio host, especially for MPR, should be able to use descriptive language to paint a picture for her listeners rather than talk about how funny it is and...Read full review »

Informative and often hilarious... By far the best political podcast option!

Love hearing interviews with Ken Rudin - my favorite political junkie!

Lots to like about this poddy, but what I particularly love about this program is how much we get to see how history repeats itself - Ken brings in fab commentators who can talk about what happened in the 60's and parallels with now.

Although I don't like this short podcast as much as Ken's full hour Political Junkie podcast, Ken is just the best. His smarts and great personality makes him someone I'd love to hang out with for a while. Love you, Ken!Read full review »

I never missed Political Junkie back when Ken Rudin was on NPR. And I don’t know how I could make it through this crazy political season without his keen insight, corny jokes and terrific guests. This is my very favorite political podcast, I only wish it could come out twice a week, rather than...Read full review »

Ken Rudin is great, and the host asks the right questions.

I think MPR downloaded the wrong news hour. I really wanted to listen about Jeb Bush not long drawn out interview of a British author. Please post the correct episode

The June 29 episode doesn’t work. Notice no time on the podcast. Can you please reload.

Excellent podcast for anyone interested in politics both current and past. I love the variety of the show and the way Ken keeps the dad jokes coming. I listen every week!
Benj12381 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/15
Ken's podcast is timely, amusing, informative, and politically balanced. He interviews real local experts--not a paid talking head among them. The This Week in Political History feature is a gem. I look forward to my Thursday commute home because that's when I listen to Ken. Anyone who...Read full review »

I missed this show and am thrilled it is back. It is the best place for people who love politics to stay informed, as well as funny and entertaining.

His particular brand of witty, light-hearted political commentary always makes my day. I've been listening for years and his depth of knowledge never fails to amaze.Read full review »

Like most other people that posted reviews, finding this podcast made my day. I was so bummed when the old podcast ended, and I am so happy that Ken is back on my iPhone!

Ken provides insightful and interesting comment with an historical context. Good stuff that is not biased.

Have missed Ken Rudin and Political Junkie on TOTN. I am ecstatic it has returned. Would love to see a separate segment with Neal, as the chemistry between them was obvious. For those asking about Scuttlebutton, it is posted on his website.

So glad to have Ken back. But I miss the humor of the show Its All Politics. Please make some bad puns!! I miss them.
EleanorH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/13
I am a huge follower of current events and political happenings, and was so sad to hear about NPR canceling “It’s All Politics” this past summer. It made my weekend to recently discover Ken Rudin is back in the game, and I love the new podcast! It’s the ‘inside-baseball’ talk you always wish you...Read full review »

We all win now that the Junkie is back on the beat. Nice job Ken and MPR!

Thank you,Thank you and Thank you... Glad to hear from Ken again

Ken is sharp and hilarious, he breaks down US politics in a manner that I find hugely entertaining. As someone who's never lived in the US I love this podcast.
Nicholas Caruana via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/25/13
Genuinely insightful with a great sense of humor. I love Ken Rudin!
Saturdaysnax via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/13
One of the most insightful analysts in the trade, and with a keen memory of history. We are indeed fortunate to have you Ken, partiuclarly in these unheralded times.

I was immediately less well-informed when NPR made the grave mistake of ditching PJ. Thanks for figuring it out for us.
