“I had to stop listening to his most recent episode of his podcast when he repeated the claim that Israel is perpetrating ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. He’s either lying or too stupid and drunk on his own ideology to know it.”

“I’ve listened to his show on and off since 2008. He usually has a interesting collection of guests that are interesting. Much of the show is foreign policy heavy if you’re into that thing. Only loses points due to the continued presence of the always rancid Mickey Kaus, who I regard as a Diet...”Read full review »

Also Bob’s Substack is great,...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a fan of Bob Wright’s since before they were called “podcasts.” He’s not only a pioneer of the genre, but he doesn’t get stuck in old material. He’s one of the brightest minds out there, and he sticks to topics that actually matter, some of which I wouldn’t know about otherwise. He...”Read full review »

“I would ask the person who seemed genuinely concerned, about the safety of young jewish men wearing a kippah. To ask themselves, why they were so comfortable painting everyone who wears a keffiyeh in a certain light?
At the crux of this issue is, the same ignorance to paint all who wear a kippah...”Read full review »

“I had some pretty high hopes for this guy, but after listening to a couple eps (including the much vaunted C. Hitchens debate) I walk away disappointed. Bob comes across to me as just one more partisan lefty in media, albeit one who is tripping over himself to show his "nuance." Most...”Read full review »

“As a long time listener (and former Parrot Room follower) I can’t say this was revelatory. I don’t doubt the history but we’re also taking about a part of the world that for centuries has plumbed the depths of human ignominy. I speak from my own family’s experience with many “missing” relatives....”Read full review »

“The title says all that’s necessary. Wright, once worthy of respect, has entirely collapsed.
With far right loon Kauss today he even discussed disgraced hyperconsumer Musk’s ‘terms of settlement’ for the Ukraine war. LOL to Musk as a serious commentator on world affairs.”
