“Many of us feel like the world is going crazy until we hear people like you who are voicing common sense ideas without obvious corporate two party bias. Thank you!”

“I really enjoy hearing the analyses of current events the Rountable members offer. Different viewpoints than I hear anywhere else in the media. Only reason I can’t give it a 5-star is the arrogance with which they approach any idea with which they disagree. Every member of our government,...”Read full review »

“The gang (Katherine, Matt, Nick and Peter) have great discussions on topical issues. The only thing I LOATHE is they sometimes speak until they have no more breath and the subsequent noises are so annoying. Breathe!”

“All are good thinkers and writers, but Welsh can barely speak and the roundtable "humor" turns me off. They need to put more effort into this show. And who cares what they've been consuming?”Read full review »

“I normally listen to this podcast every week. But in the 11/27 episode, where each was asked their preferred state for living, 3 out of 4 commentators said California, preferring the most highly regulated state in the country.
So much for libertarianism. Do they really believe in the cause?”

“The cast reminds me of a group of nerds or theatre kids who think they’re funny but in actuality just throw out jokes that fall flat.
That being said it’s interesting to see more sane Libertarians having conversations on today’s major events and topics.
Take in small doses.”

“Love the show. But is it necessary for Matt, every time he introduces the current POTUS (I’m writing this in 2023, future readers) as a topic, to say “Joseph. Robinette. Biden. Junior.”? Just say Joe Biden or President Biden or Biden, and get on with it, please.Jr.,”

“I enjoy the podcast mostly for the input of Nick and Catherine. Welch is difficult to listen to. He’s just a horrible broadcaster with his stammering over words and constant “Ums” and other filler words. Suderman seems totally out of place on a libertarian podcast. He clearly leans left...”Read full review »

“Good points made but most of the people here are just “too cool for school”. They think are so hip and with it. If they would tone down their all so witty and sometimes crude side comments, they would have a very insightful podcast.”

There’s a lot of good information but too often they assume you’re already a true believer instead of making the argument for a libertarian solution....”Read full review »

“As a centrist who’s grown bored with polarized arguments on the left and right, I was hopeful I’d found a pod with more balanced and substantive commentary.
