    Pathetic Journalist
    What a pathetic journalist you are Chuck. I wouldn’t listen to even a minute of what you had to say after watching you on Sunday mornings and your hate of Trump. You and many of your colleagues are exactly the reason I would never consider the Democratic Party again. Let’s just get basic here, I mean Trump had to sign an executive order that there are only two genders. Unbelievable!

    Excellence in progress
    So glad to have his insights and analysis back on the air. Looking forward to all the new ways you’re trying to help reinvent and restore local media. Definitely count me in amongst your eventual subscribers when you start looking at new business opportunities in media. Thanks for making a different Chuck.

    April 4 Trumps tariff turmoil
    Your economic & historic analysis of the causes of WWll are very suspect. You present no analysis of the reasons for Trump’s tariffs - you naively assume the status quo will last forever - despite our massive debt which countries are no longer willing to finance. You ignore Nixon’s disruption of the global economy via his Breton Woods switch to a US based fiat currency. You are fear mongering to disrupt Trump policy since you and the Democrat Party have no alternative to the cultural, economic, political demise of the US due to the Obama / Biden policies.

    Glad you’re back!
    I’m glad that you’re back, Chuck. I’m so glad to see a serious journalist jump into the long format podcast world. Best of luck!

    Interruption
    I love your show, but sometimes you need to not interrupt when you have guest on your show.
  • J.D.Strand
    Good start
    Nice blend of historical insight with a blend of current events from a true professional. Educational!

    Welcome Back
    Great to have you back. Looking forward to having you back.

    Our league vs. yours
    OK, Chuck, you threw down the gauntlet when you talked about your fantasy baseball league. The Duckball league of Michigan just completed its 41st annual draft. And we claim to be the oldest continuously operating league next to the original Rotisserie league. Our first draft was in 1985. Sounds like it’s about the same as your league. Do we need to go to court over this?!!🤪

  • Kristin525A
    Always timely and interesting
    Great guests and always interesting but agree about the talking over guests and answering his own questions. I want to hear what they say but sometimes it’s drowned out!

    Got Through It
    Yep, another Todd cast, I made it despite Chuck’s constant interruptions of his guests.
  • TreyAnastasioo
    Love this show !!!
    Love all aspects of the show. To the people who say he “ interrupts” his guests. That’s Chuck and most times it’s going both ways. Over look any short comings and learn from Chuck. His knowledge is incredible
  • Kamkamkam5678
    Let your guests talk!
    Why do you have guests if you’re going to talk over everything they say?

    Alternative HC
    I love the alternative Hx episodes

    Elitism in a nutshell
    The is everything that’s wrong with our press and with Washington. The host constantly interrupts his own guests to show off his purported knowledge and inside the beltway “expertise”. You can truly see why old media is dying by listening to this show.
  • xmastm42
    So wrong about the Biden pardon!
    If someone else had been targeted by Trump group, and had been threatened that they would continue to target that person using the “justice system” that they own (or will soon own), I would hope that Biden or any president would protect them. So why not do so for his son? I wish that Biden would also pardon himself. It would certainly put SCOTUS in a bind. If it’s not ok for Biden, it won’t be ok for Trump when the time comes.

    Monologue
    I would enjoy Chuck’s podcast so much more if he actually let his guests talk.
  • ml.7 dude
    Football and names
    I wanna turn you off when you start talking football and I do when it’s the end of the show. I have two and 1/2 masters and I don’t know what sec stands for. Also, please don’t just say a name of someone and assume I know who it is. I really appreciate your analysis. I have changed meet the press to press the meat because there is way too much glad handing. I listen to you on THE Chuck Todd podcast Thanks for your efforts.

    Trump tax breaks
    Not a review though I do like Chuck. I don’t always agree with him but respect his knowledge. I am here to say something that I’m not hearing anywhere. We have a problem with the high cost of rent and homes. Biden is getting blamed but I think it is due to home ownership shifting from regular folks to investors because the wealthy received tax breaks from trump and needed to do something with that money so they invested in real estate. Before voting trump back in, thinking things will be better, he will give more breaks to the wealthy and the opportunity to own a home or get a decent place to rent is only going to get harder.
  • COE Teacher
    Stop talking over your guests
    Great topics and guests. But, you ask and answer your own questions! Guests are left adding caveats to your responses. Removing the show from my library.
  • Kmf724
    Chuck is the best!
    Enjoy everything Chuck Todd does! Miss him so much on Meet the Press.
  • sdellas
    Don’t like the sportsTalk
    Generally, this is an entertaining and smart politics podcast. However, occasionally, Chuck will devote alot of time to sports analogies in politics. Not being a sports person, I never have any idea what he’s talking about and feel excluded. Not a good feeling.
  • mhaliett
    Politics is sports
    As a sports nerd, Chuck makes it all fun instead of constant dread. And l always learn from the guy. 👏👏 Stay on the ice, Chuck!
  • frankwhitenyking
    Let’s be honest….
    If you morphed Sarah Palin & Meghan Markle together, you’d get Kamala Harris. She’s terrible. And I say this voting for the Biden/Harris ticket in 2020. The Progressives pulled the Party wayyyyyyy to left. They made Trump acceptable with all the Woke nonsense. Being labeled a “Progressive” is a stain now. Ask John Fetterman….
  • MPF-22
    Excellent and Insightful podcast
    Look forward to each new episode. Great listen
  • A thing called snow
    ‘The’
    I get tired of people putting “thee” in front of every university. The Ohio State University is grammatically correct. “Thee” in front of vowels. “Thuh” in front of consonants. Easy grammar.
  • Sortoff
    Sort’Of
    If you look at it as a drinking game, then it’s fun. Every time Chuck says “sort of”, do a shot. You’ll last about 4 minutes tops! Really off putting.
  • Iago60
    Why even have a guest?
    So, you won’t let your guests talk. Why not just interview yourself?
  • MyLordandMyGod
    TK Salute
    Only reason to listen to Chuck is his football picks with Tony.
  • Difab4
    Interruptions
    Chuck if you’re going to have people like Jonathan Martin, you have to let them talk. It’s becoming a deal breaker for me.
  • ggrrrr8!
    You knew for 2 years?
    I endure toddcast on occasion to hear interviews of interesting guests. To hear that you spoke with a cabinet secretary TWO years ago about the president’s poor condition that could have serious implications to our country and you Chuck Todd model of journalistic integrity and honesty didn’t share that with the rest us until now? Glad you’re not a doctor, or you would tell patients they have 6 months to live after already knowing for 6 months. Malpractice either way.
  • ApogeePerigee
    Not enough content. Too much of the host
    I don’t learn enough. The interviews are meandering.
  • MondaleJones
    Great since the Hotline
    Chuck Todd has been a great source of political information, mostly presented clearly separate from any opinions offered.
  • bigmarge5
    Chuck Todd is king
    people need to stop hating! He’s king
  • Jonkummer
    One of my favorite podcasts
    I always look forward to Chuck’s Podcast! Insightful & entertaining I check in every week to stay updated with Chuck!
  • Herbiefortynine
    RFK Jr
    I guess they can’t ignore RFK Jr completely anymore so they write him off as a not serious candidate. Clearly they haven’t listened to any of his speeches. Ross Perot was allowed to participate in 3 televised debates! Both parties are so anti democratic, I’m done and never going back, vote independent!
  • Afterlpfkl
    Chucks interruptions
    Can someone explain to me why Chuck asked the question and immediately interrupts the speaker? It’s getting more and more annoying and I don’t know how much longer I’m going to listen to the podcast which is really too bad because he always has excellent guests.
  • alalrian
    Excellent but…
    I haven’t had broadcast TV for 40 years so didn’t know of Mr Todd til this podcast so I thought it was just my annoyance w his perpetual interruption of guests. After reading other reviews, I see I’m not alone. I guess this tendency is on account of the nature of his television show. If I’m being charitable, it is bc of his enthusiasm and getting caught up in the discussion. The discussion topics are thoughtful and timely. The guests he is able to obtain impressive. All in all v engrossing even when they get into the political weeds. Just subtracted one star for the interruption habit. Also appreciate the isolation of sport discussions to the end of episode since it totally doesn’t interest me.

    Cry Baby Liberal
    Chuck Todd is one of the many liberals that need to be fired at NBC News. The cry baby liberals at NBC meltdown when anyone has an opposing viewpoint. They interrupt and attack a conservative that is brave enough to appear on any NBC program. I will not be listening or watching any NBC News program until they clean house and comeback closer to the middle.
  • Neplusultra123
    He’s a smart and knowledge guy, but…
    Addendum to my original post below. Chuck calling out NBC for hiring Rona from the RNC was worth a 5 star rating. Nice job! Please stop interrupting your guests!!! I listened to several podcast before I realized that I wasn’t imaging the constant interruptions. Please let your guest finish their thoughts and sentences. Alternatively, just have yourself on as the guest.

    No longer a fair host
    Used to enjoy listening as Chuck Todd was one of the seemingly few fair minded hosts in the mainstream media. As time has gone on he makes it more and more that he’s just as biased as everyone else. His latest episodes on Rural America and the State of the Union have made me give up on this podcast.
  • GFYPOS
    Smack talking President Biden does not make you relevant!
    You are THE worst! Shut up Chuck Todd!
  • LukeCage420
    The Feb 2 episode with sen. Bennet

    meet the press isn't as good w/ out chuck. Miss him on the big show.
  • DNels27
    Great Podcast!
    I really miss Chuck on Sunday’s Meet the Press (although I do like Kristen Welker!), but this podcast certainly feels like I get the same glimpse into his and his guests’ insights.

    Miss Chuck on Meet the Press
    Nice to be able to hear Chuck Todd’s ideas and interviews with no commercials. Also like to hear him on WBGH Boston Public.
