“Started following the show probably 6 months ago and have become a huge fan! Heaton routinely brings in diverse voices and construct hypotheses to take difficult problems. That being said, on the campus protest episode his guest Kaplan starting the discussion saying the protest was about...”Read full review »

“Love the podcast overall when it’s got a good topic. My only issue is Andrew has a little to much faith in capitalism, he seems to discount that the game is rigged from the start. Other than that funny well informed, interesting guests and books often.”

“I was pleasantly impressed with this episode! I wasn’t going to listen to this one as I’m not a fan of Megyn Kelley but Steve Krakauer is a reasonable independent and very knowledgeable. Much better than her pod-rag would indicate!”

“This podcast provides timely and thoughtful commentary on important issues. It doesn’t have a noticeable partisan bias, unlike most news/politics shows. And it’s funny! And it has no ads.
Actually, there are ads, but they’re just joke advertisements, like on SNL. The Political Orphanage is...”Read full review »

“I’ve considered myself a political orphan since 2015ish so this show resonates with me. My favorite has been the one on the Berlin Wall but the more recent ones on Roe v Wade and gun control have been very well researched and executed. I highly recommend it.”
