“I am a long time listener and supporter of the Bulwark. The Bulwark podcast are always informative and funny, and often a bit terrifying. They range from more entertaining to deeply informative. Shield of the Republic is on the deeply informative side. I always feel like I understand our...”Read full review »

“With so much craziness in the world (and the media), I look forward each week to this podcast for its reasoned, thoughtful, and knowledgeable approach. Eric and Eliot are the teachers/professors you always longed for - smart, focused, informed, seasoned, funny. Not just educational but highly...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed this podcast. I find that they bring new insights to complicated topics. However, we really need to get Eric a better microphone or a better set up. It sounds like he’s in an echo cave.”

“I’ve been listening to the this podcast for a year now, and it’s definitely the smartest show you’ll listen to.
After reading Oath and Honor, you realize that both the distinguished hosts helped out Liz Cheney to draft and get all 10 former Secretaries of Defense to sign a letter of warning...”Read full review »

SoR provides exactly that opportunity, Eliot and Eric tell things how they are in a balanced fashion without resorting to hyperbole. I could listen to these two blokes...”Read full review »

“Eric and Eliot have fantastic depth and breadth of knowledge of international affairs and defense. Krystal’s only analysis is pst, present, and future is Trumps fault. Question related to Congress and Ukraine, answer, Well Trump… Worst guest ever. Won’t listen when he’s on. Eric and Eliot, keep...”Read full review »

“It amazes me how this crew can seem to come to a reasonable conclusion built on logical mistakes, raw credulity, anger, and culture war open nerves. Keep it up Bulwark, we’ll need you but you should keep working on the think-trying.”

Now, if the following guests (in no particular order) were to appear as guests one of these days, I’d give it even more than five...”Read full review »

“Topical conversations but these guys and Kori Schake, who were part of an administration with the worst foreign policy failure in the last 50 years, criticizing others is hard to take. They can’t help themselves, they just like war.”

“This is one of the most sober, non-hyperbolic pods available. If you’re interested in bumper sticker politics, this is NOT the show for you. If you’re interested in mature, knowledgeable workings of the geopolitical landscape and history, you’ve found your home.”

“There may be something of a conservative slant to this show. And I say so only because the hosts may have said as much. To my own ears, this podcast is more informed realism than any particular partisan perspective. It’s also quite entertaining.
