“If what you are looking for is why the republicans may need to make small tweaks, but the democrats are definitely wrong, this is the podcast for you. Highly partisan, like many other podcasts, paints the republicans as having small problems and the democrats as bad.”

“I love these podcasts. I appreciate the way in which Jon Ward listens and draws out the guest, giving them a chance to tell their stories and be present in the episode. It’s a relief to me when the host guides and directs my attention to the hard work done by the interviewee. He creates an...”Read full review »

“One of the most engaging exchange of heart, soul and intellect I’ve experienced. Good balance of our social challenges and where and how to respond from my faith and truth. A pod cast that exudes integrity and is not afraid to expose the worlds attempt to make an impact of change that is void of...”Read full review »

“THANK YOU COUSIN PATRICK🙏 I love this podcast but your intros are way too long. Thanks for shortening. The recent episode with Andy Crouch is fire.

“So much of current events discussion gives instinctual reactions to the topics least worth consideration. Jon Ward is discussing some of the most important topics in thoughtful and penetrating ways. His humble integrity is so refreshing.”

“There are few journalists that place such a focus on religion and its impact on society and I am thankful for Jon Ward’s willingness to dive in and talk to people on all sides of the religious-political spectrum. Good work.”

“Thanks Jon for this interview!
Especially appreciate your insight about ppl being susceptible to being misled bc they are engaged only around an election and then tune out again.
That has been me in the past. But thanks to you and Twitter and a wide variety of sources much less so now.
Will be...”Read full review »

I find Jon’s work to be invariably thought-provoking and deeply honest, even when I disagree with some premises or conclusions. I commend this show without reservation - I’d love to see this type of journalism...”Read full review »

“How much un-biased coverage has there truly been? This is just the same narrative spun by all other major media, owned and operated by the same 4-5 players. It cannot be called journalism, news, or investigation when an agenda is clearly in play. The only accurate description for this is...”Read full review »

“Institutions are supposed to be grounded ideological ideas that last for years, but what happens when something or someone throws a monkey wrench into the system? This is what Jon Ward tries to answer in his one man band podcast, “The Long Game.”

“I gave Jon Ward a long chance, starting to listen several month ago. It was hard to get all the way through many episodes, however as Jon often allowed intellectually dishonest statements and brash opinions stated as fact to go unchallenged and unquestioned. The extremely disappointing interview...”Read full review »

“Jon Ward is doing great work. His focus on faith and politics, and the openness he has about his background in both, leads to some really good discussions with his guests. This is a thoughtful, slow podcast. It’s an ideal counterpoint to the rapid response and quick take journalism that tends to...”Read full review »

That said, I really wish the sound...”Read full review »

Jon’s knowledge of the past results in a fair and dispassionate analysis of key players, events and issues. This is a show that is respectful and thus respected - one...”Read full review »

“Ward's exploration of the importance of institutions (political, religious, educational, communical) in our life and their demise in the rise of individualism is important, timely and thoughtful. The 2nd and 4th episodes are so far the best in my opinion as they are more structured...perhaps...”Read full review »
