John is proof anybody can have a podcast and try to be relevant. Without Patreon it’s basically one episode a week and by the time you listen it’s old news. I just cancelled my Patreon.

Awesome

This podcast is worth listening to for its viewpoint. One thing I would mention is that John gets frustrated with people and blocks them on Twitter, including me. This is a mistake if he wants the podcast to survive. Blocking potential subscribers is dumb.

John is straightforward with his analysis and principled in his approach. I hope he can maintain a presence in media because I value his opinion.

I really enjoy listening to John’s show even though I may disagree with some of what he says. It’s nice to hear an opposing viewpoint and he makes me think about and consider some of my own views. He can be frustrating at times and I can see why he has no friends. 😂

I don’t always agree with or like John’s take on everything. That said, nobody should just sit in an echo chamber, it is so refreshing to have an honest voice. He backs up everything he says and is very transparent about his ideology.

Listen all the time

Very compelling show. John (and Liz, wherever she is) are able to break down and explain, in detail, the problems with the current news media environment.

I like to listen to John Ziegler’s take on the news. I don’t always agree with his perspective, but he seems to always have always have a well reasoned analysis, and he is forthcoming about his biases.

Appreciate John’s objectivity and constant search for the truth in the news and news media. Was first introduced to him through his Benefit of Hindsight podcast which completely debunked the entire Jerry Sandusky scandal. I feel he is a kindred spirit in always searching for fact in a increasingly biased world. Keep up the phenomenal work John!

John Ziegler I love your podcast. Never miss an episode. Your dissection of the news and way of pointing out how it is covered is outstanding! How the left covers things shapes the narrative and that is so unfortunate. The news is so broken as you love to say. What a shame please keep up the great work!

Fantastic interview and discussion with Greg Kelly. Please continue to conduct more interviews with your podcast.

I have followed John since his Indivisible One podcast. Although I don’t agree with all of his opinions, I admire his willingness to pursue truth. He also deserves credit for his difficult work in the Penn State case. John comes on rather strong, but he is a voice that deserves a wider audience.

I first heard John on the Matt Lewis podcast, found his perspective extremely sensible and excitedly subscribed when I heard he had his own podcast. Then I got blindsided with the dreaded aural assault: randomly inserted, extremely obnoxious "dynamic" ads several times per episode. This one would be one of my top listens, but, like the others with this abombination of an ad strategy, since I can't enjoy it while driving, working out, walking, doing chores, etc. it's now relegated to a playlist reserved for those rare times I can listen with a finger hovered over the skip button. Look, I accept that some creators need ads to make money - but the dread of getting randomly punched in the ears at any second does not make for an enjoyable experience no matter how good the content. There are other ways: pre-roll, designated ad breaks, host reads ... or at least offer a patreon option - I would gladly pay to listen! Oh, and advertisers: I don't even know who you are because your spots are just noise.

These two have proven their courage and stamina, sticking to their guns on possibly the most controversial stance in modern media. They don’t agree often, they don’t always get along but they are the most entertaining and endearing podcast duo I’ve found. Try out episodes 9 and 10, prepped with eye protection as iron sharpens iron. Liz and Zig are shipwrecked news media veterans who’ve just paddled to shore with their integrities in tow.

Outstanding new podcast on the state of journalism today. John and Liz present an eye opening podcast on what the media has become. Basically, they are not journalists but activists. Stories are not fully vetted before airing or published. A narrative is quickly formed and it is to be preserved at any cost. John describes in detail what happened regarding the BYU/Duke women’s volleyball incident. How the media jumped to conclusions and took the word of a woman who wasn’t even there. I urge you to listen. Deirdre Robinson Amazing podcast. I urge you to listen. John and Liz spell it out about why the media is broken and journalism as we knew it is dead. Excellent podcast today. Thank you John for telling us about your friend Franco Harris. What a great friend. I could feel your pain as you spoke about him. So sorry for your loss.

I never write reviews but felt compelled to drop one. Zig and Liz have a great rapport. Episodes are must listen- TDOJ calls a spade a spade as it relates to the corrupt corporate media.

I’m glad these two teamed up again, because they were outstanding narrating the facts (and fiction) of their last subject podcast: “With the Benefit of Hindsight.” Their current endeavor is highly ironic…two media members…taking aim at the media (mainstream & social); and how the art of true journalism - the search for the truth without bias - is dead.

I love your podcast, but I’m curious as to why you didn’t at least do a quick Google search of Nick Fuentes before the podcast. He’s a rabid antisemite and also a complete clown. You were right about him being a nobody, but his videos are easy to find on YouTube. Trump should have had him vetted. You know the old saying about the company you keep…

This podcast has a lot of potential but the hosts interrupt each other continually. Also, the placement of commercials is jarring. There’s absolutely no transition. Im out.

Podcast is amazing. Will surely be among the most popular news/political podcasts. Hopefully, this drives other media members to seek out the truth on Penn State, or at lease offer to debate Ziegler

How often do you see members of the media auditing their own profession? NEVER. But that's what you get here, and it's very refreshing. John and Liz take a deep dive into how the media operates and why it is broken, and they sprinkle in personal anecdotes that are hilarious. Worth the listen!

Listen & Learn what real journalism sounds like - then question everything you've been told before. Be sure to listen to 'The Benefit of Hindsight' also!

The best !!!

I love listening to John Ziegler but Liz is annoying! Get a new Co-Host or do it by yourself. She interrupts and just annoying. So excited that John has a new podcast!

The podcast fearing Liz Habib and John Ziegler is returning with a topic that needs to be examined. It’s been great so far through 4 episodes and after their last venture I’m sure this one will be a must listen to as soon as they release a new one. Calling balls and strikes won’t get you invited to lots of corporate parties but it will expose the corporate media alliances. I will be encouraging everyone I know to listen and subscribe!!

Nobody analyzes nonsense like John. Liz is brilliant too. Excellent show. Recommend

In their first episode, John & Liz do an excellent and thorough job of analyzing a current news story (alleged BYU scandal). They start from the beginning to demonstrate how a story reported as “fact” was simply not the case & a rush to judgment by the lazy and ideologically driven media. You cannot find this type of breakdown anyplace else. I highly recommend this podcast. John & Liz have decades of media experience & they apply what they know in their analysis.
