“Mike Murphy is such a breath of fresh air. There are a whole bunch of conservatives who simply will not truck with Trump. What I really like is that Mike is of such good cheer, and is not angry or defeated. He is fighting the good fight.”

“I’m a Democrat and I think your voice and analysis are essential. I enjo you podcast with David Axelrod, but Radio Free GOP is a work of genius. Your analysis is important in understanding the entire spectrum of American opinion”

“Mike acts a lot older than he really is. He could change up the piano music a little. I feel like I'm at a mill store in tha 1990's. But the interviews are solid and Mike is a 1st class truth teller. Why did he go away for so long? We may never know. Glad he's back.”Read full review »

“Murphy is so fun, fast, and smart. I was a Republican - would now call myself an independent even though it seems the party has changed and not me - and it is good to hear somebody still fighting the good fight.”

“Mike Murphy is fantastic in this smart weekly podcast. He gives a fresh perspective on the headlines and the upcoming 2020 election. You'll get a heavy dose of inside stories - but told with a healthy disrespect for the process.”Read full review »

Add to that the fact that he was still pushing hard for donations to run the show up to the very week of his announcement,...”Read full review »

“Why can't Republicans be like this normally? Mike appears to approach issues with logic and humor. He's also able to articulate the opposition's position without animus. It sounds like he's the sort of Republican who would be willing to make deals for the good of the country. And...”Read full review »

“I never miss this great podcast from the great Mike Murphy - longtime GOP strategist and consultant. He's a Never Trumper so you get a balanced take on this crazy 2016 election season. Great insight, interviews, humor, and great jingles! Give it a shot.”Read full review »

“There are plenty of podcasts out there that rightfully bash the 2016 Republican nominee but you often have to listen to them with a grain of salt as they are unabashely leftist in their ideology.
