GiveMeRealNewzKyle’s WorldKyle Peterson has more speaking time than the guests. Why don’t we rename the show as Kyle’s World. Podcast is not about you Kyle ! Let the guests speak.

RjvaSometimes it’s interestingThe audio quality can be really bad, which is weird because the regular WSJ news podcast has great audio. Sometimes I can’t even listen the audio is so bad. It’s really, really right wing sometimes. It’s nice to get another perspective and I know this is an opinion podcast, but there needs to be other opinions. I’m just listening to an opinion on the debate and the guest is from the Trump campaign! No opinion from the Democratic side. I listen to the Economist all the time which is left biased, but even they bring Republicans on their Checks and Balance. The WSJ regular news podcasts are good and informative. But the opinion podcasts are sometimes just trash.

Informed1952Glimmer of hopeKim Strassel’s interview with Ralph Reed of the Faith and Freedom Coalition (August 27) gave a big boost to my hope for a Trump/Vance victory. This group has the money, vision, plan and leadership to inform their group and mobilize them to vote in November. Thank you Kim! I am sharing this hopeful message with my friends.

WoodMorgerMolly Ball? Really?Please comment on the ideology behind the WSJ hiring practice? Trying to get a balanced view of politics? Assuming Emma knew Molly back in the day at the Times, maybe not. But Molly’s article in the Times a few years ago explaining how a cabal took out Trump was arrogant and scary. Why is she writing for WSJ? And, by the way, the shift to the Left on the reporting pages (not Editorial thank God) has been more than a little obvious.

3337108/16 Kamala’s opportunity economyGreat show as usual Kamala’s plan is a great recipe for more inflation, more foreclosures and higher taxes to immediately fund and ultimately bail out the ultimate failure of her plan. But she will get the votes from the immediate beneficiaries of the government handouts She’ll be the short term winner (president Kamala) - that’s the goal of those who put the economic opportunity plan together. She’s the useful idiot who will smile, giggle and laugh when presenting it.
-
misty3303Yes, but….Kim has great knowledge, insight and perspectives but to maintain credibility, pronouncing Kamala properly is critical! This seems to be a problem for many of the guests on this show. I’m not a Kamala supporter but can’t understand why her name is constantly mispronounced and why the hosts don’t coach on this.
-
SapdougGreat Show - 8/8 Really Slick!Without a single word of criticism, only admiration, they accuse Minnesota Democrats of ballot harvesting - isn’t that illegal?
-
Burtb07Strass- oh yasssI have loved Kim’s warmth and intellect for a long time. Happy to have her interview subjects and I got a smile when I heard her try to subdue a chuckle in response to a quip from the guest.
-
someguysomewhere123Great contentLove it
-
qrfggySlow down!I don’t know what the time pressure was, but speaking at this unnatural rate of speed interferes with the ability of your audience to understand and process the information you are trying to get across to them. Surely the Wall Street Journal should be able to buy a bit more time. so SLOW DOWN and if you are all snorting cocaine before broadcasting please stop before you lose your audience or get admitted to a hospital!

CatharkAll ThingsI enjoyed Kim’s first show and am looking forward to more!

zxz12321zxzUnbalanced, though could be greatPaul does a nice job presenting a balanced view of issues but some, especially Kate, present a very unbalanced view of issues. I want to hear opinions but wise ones. It’s disappointing because she has some good points but she seemingly refuses to look at other reasonable perspectives allow them to balance out her views. If Paul (and some others who have more maturely developed views on the show) were on each day I would listen to the podcast every day. But I turn it off when Kate (and a couple others don’t seem to have the wisdom and balance that Paul does ) come on If I want a narrow view I can listen to newsmax or msnbc, but I want a more moderate conservative view like the WSJ can present
-
Hamster CalhoonOne of the best Washington politics podcastsThe Potomac podcast from The Wall Street Journal Opinion is one of two podcasts on Washington political analysis that I never miss. Excellent discussion from the center-right point of view. Very professionally conducted, and always an interesting and valued listen.
-
BaesgiInteresting and well researched analysis of current affairsI would probably fall more in the moderate Democratic spectrum, but I agree with many opinions that are presented here. It is important to hear both sides of the isle and form your own opinion. This podcast helps me to better understand the conservative position and see topics from new viewpoints by presenting it in clear and professional manner. Keep up the good work!
-
evjdReason ReignsAlways listen to Paul, Bill, and Kim who each have their own rational and sometimes different take on daily issues. Analysis by each is valued.
-
TXLandman1So FrustratingActing like “Bipartisan Border Security Bill” does anything but legalize >1million illegal immigrants per year makes the most recent episode a complete whitewash of truth.
-
user in italyGreat discussionLove the show.
-
4your9senseUkrainian support as discussed 2/16/24I found today’s show interesting about the status of the Ukrainian war, but lacking in a balanced perspective. if the Ukrainian support is so critical to both that nation and the United States, Mr Gigot, why not ask the question shouldn’t Biden be giving in on the southern border if that’s what it’s going to take for Congress to support the bill in front of it? In my view and a lot of people I know say if Biden wants the funding all he hast to do is to implement remain in Mexico and Congress will support the funding measure. America’s security against the invasion of young military age men from China, and other countries must come before Ukrainian security. This is not on Congress. It is on the White House.

Larsn44Kim is a treasureI love the podcast. I wish Alysia would lose the monotone and separate her words. She is difficult to understand.
-
ShoulderleenBest pod, WORST audioMy favorite podcast of all time. Kim is a legend. However, the audio quality is SO BAD that I can only give two stars. I love the content but the conference call quality hurts my ears. Alysia Finley has boring/bad takes. Not on the same playing field as Kim Paul and Bill. WSJ - get these people some professional microphones for Heaven’s sake!! Especially Alysia if you keep her on!
-
KPMridgeA must listenInformative and thought-provoking

RealCheeseFlavrIs one of the hosts drunk?My God, one of the women always sounds like she just polished off a fifth. I can’t listen to episodes she contributes to. She has a voice for writing columns. Edit: I don’t know when I wrote this review. PLEASE get her off. It’s unlistenable.
-
LJRALWhy more commercial breaks????Good content but too many add breaks.
-
Tracy6968Daily ListenerKimberley Strassel is one of the most intelligent columnists that I have ever read or heard. I’ve followed her for years. I tolerate this pod casts dislike of Trump to listen to her speak. Don’t forget that many of us that became professional people come from working class families of all races. A group that has been ignored and walked on by almost every president since Reagan except for Trump.
-
SpandataGreat perspectives and no polemic rancor.Wow! I really appreciate your civility, broad-minded perspectives and respect for real dialogue that seems to seek the Middle Path.
-
tioleo8was much better at 1x week now diluted and repetitiveecho chamber problem; kim straussel is a titan but the rest of the cast barely adds any value. when they went every day it dropped in quality but kept same if not longer runtime. turned into reading headlines and repeating Kims opinions. very little value in learning different opinions on major topics and very little inside baseball as it used to do when 1x a week.
-
Not bad otherwiseHalf-sided debatesI don’t know why I expected this podcast to be fair and balanced anyway.
-
jbs1526Stick to what you knowI usually agree with the views on Potomac Watch. But The podcast’s (allysia?) attempt to explain CBAMs, carbon vs carbon equivalents, and what constitutes “air pollution” makes it sound like they just read something on a message board. Regardless if your position on the topic, at least be able to explain it correctly…e.g. understand that air pollutants like nox and Sox are included in “carbon equivalent”.
-
Joe-in--San-DiegoAudio Issues ContinuePaul! What are we doing with your audio quality?? Are you broadcasting on AM radio and uploading it to a podcast?? Leadership is fixing problems. You’re failing.
-
Den 64President TrumpYour podcast displays a dislike of President Trump that sticks out like a sore thumb. With all the crap thrown his way, he still got important things done. Too many to list here. I’d take a look in the mirror, because you’re not as smart as you like to think you are.

Ronnie BobbieGreat discussionAlesia is super bright but her monotone voice and run-on sentences loose me. She needs to shorten her discourse or change her voice inflection. She can’t keep up with the talent that surrounds her.

browngangbcCharitable FundsI had a charitable giving fund that turned down a bequest I requested to a Christian group. “Impact Assets” claimed that my requested bequest posed some unnamed ethical violation. That’s all Impact Assets would say. I guarantee that the Christian group was a mainstream organization.

TigerjobooGas stoves??????This is Potomac Watch. Not Fart Watch. Stick to your mission. Hearing Kimberly Strassel talk about gas stoves? Stick to the big picture.

GettawaygalMy #1 Pick for News AnalysisSo refreshing to enjoy an in-depth discussion of newsworthy events, presented from different perspectives (all “center-right” but unflinchingly, honest, and based on the facts). Really appreciate this resource.
-
Bbrown718MehAs a dedicated centrist, this is just way too one sided for me. Maybe that’s the point of an opinion page, but really they skew so far to the right that it’s a bit ridiculous. I would feel the same for any serious news organization that put out radical left leaning opinions. I was hoping for rational discussions. This is just republican dogma propaganda.
-
EricNMaMy everyday coffee in politicsAlways very insightful, meaningful, and aspirational.
-
bkjovenReviewAs someone who is more left leaning, I appreciate listening to this podcast to hear points from the other side and often come away with some things to ponder and broaden my perspective. However, while I admire Kim Strassel’s intelligence and command of the issues, especially as a a woman, she often comes across as very unbalanced and far right in her opinions. And her arguments don’t often seem consistent. But it is an opinion show, so I guess her role is to provide such opinions.
-
Jesse Von IshmeowWelcome back, Paul!Glad Paul is back! And appreciate the daily podcast.

NYer18OutstandingI recently came upon this podcast and it has quickly become a must-listen. Highly intelligent and knowledgeable discussion of the issues.

Rich via21876Right wing 1986 Republican ViewsIf you miss the old GOP without realizing this is a new GOP listen to this. I heard these people say that the debt ceiling doesn’t matter because of “prioritization of payments” could pay some bills…so a default by another name
