Customer Reviews
Lighthearted Panel Discussion of Serious Issues
Harry Litman leads a panel each episode in an even-paced discussion analyzing political issues in the news. The viewpoints are shared in a collegial, friendly manner despite the often sobering nature of the topics covered.
Great Show
Outstanding! Great in-depth coverage. Very insightful!
I laugh, I “cry,” I’m provoked to THINK!
The Talking Feds podcast is a captivating blend of wit, emotion, and intellectual stimulation that leaves listeners thoroughly engaged. Hosted by a group of former federal prosecutors, the podcast offers insightful commentary on current legal and political issues with a refreshing dose of humor and candidness.
Each episode is a rollercoaster of emotions where you'll find yourself laughing out loud at the hosts' witty banter, feeling moved by their impassioned discussions, and most importantly, challenged to think critically about complex topics. From dissecting recent court cases to analyzing government policies, the Talking Feds team delivers content that is both informative and entertaining.
One standout feature of the podcast is its diverse range of guests and perspectives. However, to further enrich the discourse, I would highly recommend inviting Nick Gillespie—an esteemed libertarian voice—to contribute his insights on various issues. Gillespie's reasoned approach would offer valuable balance and expand the podcast's scope of viewpoints.
