Amazing podcast!

Very well run podcast a lot of weighty topics are discussed that are up to date with current events. I can see it being a great asset to students wanting to gain a better understand of current issues as well as formulating their own political opinions.

Well Laid Out and Has Interesting New Prospectives

I think that this is definitely one of the better political podcasts that I have listened to. Politically Sober lays out the facts from the beginning so that I can understand the discussion and the conversations that the host has with the guest speaker are genuine. The host tries to give a platform for the speakers’ ideas instead of just trying to override it with their own ideologies. Phenomenal.

Great Podcast

This is a very well-put together podcast. The structure is great and the conversational/interview style keeps you interested throughout. Would recommend even if political podcasts aren’t something you would typically listen to!
