“I think this is a great podcast and it offers a smart, centrist analysis of current events that is so often missing in American politics. My only problem with it is that it’s a bit too short, and sometimes Mead tosses out some big ideas without really explaining what he means or giving specific...”Read full review »

“I don’t understand how you can call this “a conversation” when Jeremy does not participate. There is never any pushback, even on sometimes ridiculously false claims.
The show would be so much better if the points of view were challenged here and there.”

“WRM’s take on political intrigues, electoral shenanigans, diplomacy, and what and why it matters, is moves ahead on the global chessboard. To the point. Concise, pithy without being disrespectful. A great reality check!”

“This is a ‘must have’ for anyone interested in international affairs. I’ve read Walter Russell Mead for many years due to his insights in world affairs. This pod allows one to listen to his experience & knowledge of such issues. A must for all students of world issues.”

“He is becoming more and more cynical, even in the short time since this podcast series began. Less insightful than he once was. Becoming the cliché crank, which is sad.”

“This is a nice commentary on the world from someone who has been around and is used to seeing and commenting on the facets of the day. It gives the commentary some recent (50 years or so) historical perspective and context. I don’t always agree with the selection of the facts that are used or...”Read full review »

“This maybe off-topic. I agree with Chuck Schumer but I dislike the way the media, all of the media, covered his speech. There is no position for “the most powerful Jewish politician in America” It doesn’t exist and it shouldn’t exist. Chuck Schumer is the senator for the state of New York, not...”Read full review »

“WRM as a good historian often applies the history to our present situations. The younger generations would benefit from his wisdom.
Also is it named W-hat R-really M-atters on purpose to reflect his name W-alter R-ussell M-ead? Certainly makes it easy to remember his name :).”

“Every time I read or listen to Walter Russell Mead, I learn something, and he’s never boring. I also appreciate that while he does have a point of view, he doesn’t pander to some caricature of a conservative audience. He’s not playing on emotions to get clicks. Well done.”
