“16 billion spent on this election cycle. The Rich need to stop being able to political donations instead of taxes. The politicians need to do there jobs and lobby for the citizens that are not in the donor class. Where are the union building think tanks? Where are the Working Class PAC’s? Food...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to Ezra for years now. I love his intellectual take on things. He also presents information in such an easy to understand format. I appreciate that in the past year he has invited more conservative leaning folks on the podcast as I’m interested in hearing what they have to say; I...”Read full review »

“Love the pod. Although the cast about ‘the book that predicted the election’ makes a lot of sense, there is a BIG elephant in the room… Not owning the media environment throughout vast swaths of the US… If more voters knew what he was really like, how his policies will hurt (people and their...”Read full review »

“A Million Man and A Million Woman and A Million Transgender and A Million Immigrants and A Million with at least two years of community college booing Trump at his “ Sworn In” and his parade. No need to hold signs or violence . Form peaceful groups and BOO him relentlessly.”

“An ok show which is sometimes engaging but it is so clearly produced in the upper middle class nyc media bubble that it’s usually predictable and occasionally unintentionally funny. I’m a late 50s, gay democrat and even I find myself rolling my eyes and stopping episodes a third of the way in...”Read full review »

My rating would appear to reflect that even though we don't always see 100% eye-to-eye and I dislike some of his guests, they are worthwhile and so are his conversations, his analysis and viewpoints...”Read full review »

“Klein is a painful example of why the Dems lost the election … priggish, pedantic, pseudo-intellectual identity-obsessed drivel … so disconnected he needs a shot of Thorazine. One listen was all I needed. Give Trump a few months in office and this guy will be serving you a Diet Coke at Applebee’s.”

“I used to like the show but since the genocide in Gaza began it feels like Ezra has struggled to say anything interesting. He talks about Trump way too much with no added value. I feel this pod adds nothing to intellectual discourse... can't tell who it's for? I guess right-wing liberals?”Read full review »

“Today’s election debrief episode really nailed it, and helped me to get my head around how we actually got here. The Dems have been too insular for way too long and need to burn the ships and start over. Just hope we can survive the next four years while they do it.”
