This is one of the few American shows that regularly covers international news and politics. John’s coverage of China and Russia is unmatched.

Please eliminate the previews or put them in their own category. It’s messing up the rotation.

The Previews are not useful to the listener trying to listen to the actual show. Perhaps all Previews could be put into a different Podcast category. They interfere with listening currently.

Enjoyed Cliff May’s clear-sighted global survey. Very temperate, rational and balance of power focused. I’d like to hear his view on whether Mahanian maritime strategy should still inform our navy deployments IVO the vast Pacific being the likely next ( or additional) theater.

Everyone needs John in their ears. He informs every aspect of life. Absolute fascinating concept of a show and by far the best ever.

The show is one of the most informative center right podcasts out there and I love to listen when I can. However the strange format of listing the episodes backwards makes it very difficult to listen to. I don’t want to have to scroll through my phone every 5-10 minutes to play the episodes in...Read full review »

John Bachelor is one of America’s few remaining public intellectuals. But I just can’t deal with the podcast any longer. Breaking features into short segments and then loading them in reverse order is ridiculous. I’m typically working while listening and having to stop every few minutes to locate...Read full review »

Mr Bachelor really needs to cease and desist with lurid editorializing show headlines “ripped from the news “ BUT which have absolutely NOTHING to do with program content. If he wants to editorialize then he should do it rather than bastardizing show headlines. Bachelor’s sleep walking...Read full review »

John is great, show is awesome. Very informative and covers so many interesting subjects. I also love the classic radio tonality to John’s voice. But…whoever is posting the segments this way needs to seriously rethink their strategy. It’s unlistenable. For example, the interviews are posted in...Read full review »

I love this show. The host has the same interests that I do. I started listening on our local radio station but now have to listen to the podcast. Very difficult to manage especially over Apple play. The previews mess things up. I have found that the only way to listen is to download the episodes...Read full review »

John, his people and guests give unique education found nowhere else on this planet

I have listened to John Batchelor off-and-on since 2007. My bona fides: Midnight, the Stars, and You” was often his buffer music at that time. I do not understand the 8 to 15 minute segment format. It is like the Babylon Bee said, “What long-form, spoke word, thoughtful person could we use as the...Read full review »

Grateful for the secular perspectives of some that ascribe most stellar and biological discoveries as Darwinian; I use their lexicon as a primer for rebuttal. If space can start to curl or bend, what a wonderful rejoinder to “...it shall roll up like a scroll “.

Love the brisk tempo. Assume your interviewees are authorative. Im relearning latin from school.

Been a devoted listener for years. But the tone and amount of commercials have made this podcast unlistenable IMO.

Come on Judy, sticking up for the status quos of Europe today. France & Germany? In That the EU “right wing”is a scary monster painted like CBS covers DJT. Same media, insane think tank foundations flipped to left-wing activism. Europe is over-run by Marxist & Muslim refugees destroying...Read full review »

The show presents informative at times entertaining information. Particularly appreciate the book reviews as well as the in-depth reporting on specific subjects.

John, would someone please read this? my only access to your radio show is by way your podcast. The way of structured presents a problem. Used to flow so that I could listen to one after the other but now they stop so I have to manually click the next segment also, when you have multiple segments...Read full review »

Absolutely love this show on the radio when I can catch it. The podcast is a miserable disorganized mess with nothing in order and shows no understanding of how the medium works.
oshnsun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/24
John is a true gentleman. He is fair-minded, highly informed, and never insulting or combative or mud-slinging. Yet he is very strong in controlling the quality of his show. I have the greatest respect for him and know of no other podcast host like him. I hope he lives to be 200.

Love the content but your editing sucks…. Many episodes are cut off before they are over and for some reason the player often stalls when it comes to the end
EcnarolfJ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/24
I look forward to his shows everyday.
Chris's Laptop via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
Once I heard John call himself "CBS ... " I knew his show would lean more left. There is no mention of the 2020 election audits, push for voter ID. I guess all the illegal immigrants and Afghan refugees get to vote with no voter ID. USA elections are a total sham without real state...Read full review »

Nobody does an author interview like John B. He has so many qualities lacking today - like dignity, generosity, kindness, and humility. I have leaned so much from him over 20 years now. One thing would help me learn EVEN more: that is, if the audio-only podcast (not YouTube) page had a tab...Read full review »

John is a wonderful broadcaster been listening to him from many many years. He’s a true treasure.

This is a superb broadcast which explores geopolitical, military, social and economic issues in a deep way. Many experts provide their keen insights.

I AWAIT THE WEEKEND and JOHN BATCHELOR’S DISCUSSION WITH THE PROFESSOR ❗️ CAN YOU PLEASE SQUEEZE IN “ Midnight, the ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and YOU “ ❓ Oh, HOW WE MISS YOUR GOOD MUSIC❗️ B.J. (way out in west Texas)
bj021121 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/23
I’ve been listening to John Batchelor for years. I even wrote a techno thriller (“The Prometheus Option”) based on an interview he did with an expert on China’s plans to supplant the US as the dominant world power by 2049. His interviews are always lucid, trenchant, and insightful. Don’t miss JB!
gustavofugeac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/23
Another mouthpiece of the mainstream media. Bachelor fails to look behind the curtain of modern geopolitical issues. It’s unfortunate that bachelor with all his years of journalistic experience fails to expose some of the most paramount issues of our day. Bachelor does nothing to push...Read full review »

I love the variety of guests and topics on John Batchelor’s podcasts. His book talks are so well done. The recent appearance by Bill Gertz on China and AI was excellent.
Cc Mills via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/23
Maybe I sent already? I discovered him as a podcast a couple or so years ago, pre-COVID. I love his stuff! And he has great guests. WSJ and former federal administration officials regularly come on. He covers a diverse set of topics. Highly recommended. I miss A.J. McKinder…

I hope the professor will return to the program soon.

I used to travel for work once or twice per week from CT to NYC. When I got off the train I had the privilege to listen to JB on WABC 770. Now I have blessing to hear him any time I like on podcast.

John Batchelor should wear the Crown for excellence in broadcasting. No one has the range, the topics, the contributors …science, history, events all around the world and home, absolutely superb. Do not know how he does it 7 days a week but there it is unfailing and smartly done. Stay the course,...Read full review »
