Customer Reviews
Nice coverage of national & CA issues
I’ve been an avid listener of this podcast since the last couple years it was titled Area 45. Bill Whalen is a great interviewer, has on interesting guests, and always brings a lot to the conversations from his own experiences in journalism and politics. Although I am not a California resident, the dissenting views regularly offered on the podcast regarding the state’s one party rule are informative and valuable as the issues discussed often have national import. I discovered this podcast after listening to Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson. Fans of Matters of Policy & Politics will likely also be interested in Hoover’s Good Fellows podcast, which Whalen moderates.
Swing and a miss
Whalen bleated on for weeks about discontented California voters….looking forward to your episode where you try to explain the result.
I am really trying but what is going on with you guys?
Debra Saunders? Complete waste and pretty out of touch. I used to listen consistently — but your hatred of Trump is getting boring — and some of your guests … ugh. We need your voice but please step out of your bubble!
