Phenomenal

This podcast covers all the important topics in the world and the USA with insights into important issues and institutions influencing them. Thank you! I wish the Vice President would listen to this podcast, I think he needs a lot of help with his critical reasoning on how to actually put America first and he can find it here.
War Mongering Quacks

Really losing respect for this podcast and these people. Swinging way too far right. Update - officially unfollowing. Paul Gigot has destroyed this podcast and the reputation of the WSJ, in addition to a handful of his cohorts.
Excellent analysis
Mar 1
Bill McGurn’s analysis on Ukraine’s rare earth mineral deal is excellent and right on point.
Skewed reporting
Mar 1
The reporters hesitate to call out bad behavior when it happens.
Well done 2/22/25
Feb 22
I’ve been critical, but today’s podcast, Alicia, was clearly articulated. And of course always like Kim’s perspective.
Don’t Make Me Do It!
Feb 22
Okay, the WSJ paper fails to cover the abuses that Doge has uncovered or the list the problems uncovered at USAID. So I am dropping that subscription and looks like there are also fewer reasons to listen to Potomac Watch. Terrible shift over the past few years!
Great shows

I never miss a day with Potomac Watch. It keeps me sane after listening to inane liberal MSM. Wish everyone would listen. Love all the speakers!
Typical MSM
Feb 4
This podcast used to be better. The cast hates Donald Trump and his administration from policies to nominations for admin roles and cabinet positions. They consistently mock the President, allude to his plans and positions not being well thought out and often times stupid, and have many times said the President pursues unpopular agendas with the American people while failing to recognize this agenda won the popular vote, the electoral vote, has 75% approval, and the President himself 57% approval. Typical MSM commentary that gets aroused by their own view of self importance.
By elites, for elites
Feb 4
Leading up to the 2024 election, this podcast was wonderful. But since Trump won, all they do is criticize every single thing the man does, which has largely been what he promised to do when he ran. They just seem like a group of coastal elites who are very out of touch with the common voter.
Warmongers
Jan 29
I used to enjoy the podcast a lot with its various opinions. But it’s been a while since I noticed that almost every episode peddles the war. “We have to support our allies” they say. Why would we? We should first think of supporting our citizens and our country. Stop peddling wars. Please return to objective opinions that we enjoyed before.
