    Bill kristol
    I listened to a YouTube of bill kristol and John Bolton and was reminded of why in a democrat and how much I really hate republicans . Anyway couldn’t comment there so I figured I’d comment here . Keep up the good work everyone. . Go Birds

    Great podcast
    Since we have a trade surplus with the UK, according to Trump logic we are ripping off the Brits??
  • Taralainee

  • Green Aurora
    My lifeline!
    Tim helps keep me grounded, I really appreciate this podcast, it’s straight talk on the current state of the US, delivered with snark. Loved the recent episode with JVL, now I’ll have to get that “JVL is always right” T shirt

    Pay attention to who your advertisers are
    I really like this podcast and listen to it M-F. But recently I’ve been put off by an ad sponsored by Noem and Homeland Security talking about all the immigrant criminals the DHS is rounding up. Do you have a choice of where your ads come from? Just curious. Still love the podcast.

    The BEST
    Tim, you’re my hero! Thank you for continuing to say what so many people are afraid to say and for giving us listeners 30-60 minutes of respite, 5-7 days of the week.
  • Anonymous_Antics
    Thank you in this moment
    Thank you for speaking truth to power in these dark times. The voice you bring is critical, and I want you to know that we have your back!

    May 6 w/ JVL
    Tim speaks to my soul on all levels. I love how he doesn’t shy away from real questions and real answers. And this episode with JVL was definitely the Goldilocks just enough moment. I laughed until I cried - at work in a very Trumpy world, and I don’t even care what everybody thinks. I love that Tim comments on current sports games, too. He’s totally relatable and snarky without being hateful. Love the show.

    I felt like I would puke
    I have been listening to the show since day one. I have found much comfort in the words of Charlie and now Tim. Listening to show with JVL: Economic Tsunami is Coming I had so much anxiety I wanted to throw up. We cannot be the boiling frogs. No one is coming to save us. No one is immune to these outcomes. We are responsible! In an age of instant contact we need to be able to come together. I really am feeling like I am going to lose it but want to create something better instead. I am involved in a couple of initiatives but need to do more. If this episode didn’t make you hit the panic button what more is it going to take? The clock is ticking very quickly…

    is insane
  • klj5320
    S.O.S.
    The DNC needs a motto to focus on Corruption and Kitchen Table. They should put SOS on hates: save our soul, save our State, save our…. America is under assault and sending out the sOS. Is necessary! Tim does a great SOS podcast.
  • Юлона
    Neocon is in the shadow
    From the left side, it’s still lingering with neocon elements from the liberal which is outdated and needs to transformed into something more tangible and manageable. Old days are not coming back, time to move on.
  • kikiof50
    Tim is the real deal
    He speaks without fear. You have no idea how comforting that is. ❤️
  • CaliforniaLinda
    This show keeps me sane.
    I love Tim's no b.s. approach.
  • spencerlennard
    Fantastic interview
    Tom Nichols is sooooo great!
  • Dr.NSP
    Truth telling Tim Rocks!
    I think Tim Miller is my new favorite person! I have a lot of respect for recovered republicans who can see the flaws in all parties & choose to stand on the side of HUMANITY, FACTS, EQUALITY, & CALLING THE GOP what it really is now… a FAR RIGHT EXTREMIST FASCIST AUTHORITARIANISM DICTATORSHIP REGIME! And Tim lives his life authentically, which I highly admire & respect!🙏🏼
  • the famousitalian
    Straight talk
    Smart guests that elevate their listeners. Listen every day now that I found them
  • Beauuuui
    Not bad
    Tim is a pretty smart guy and I agree with him on most things. I wish he would take some vocal coaching classes. He has an annoying nervous laugh syndrome. He can barely get two sentences out without the nervous laughter. A frequent guest Bill Kristol has the same affliction. When they both are on together, it’s a nervous laugh Palooza. Guys your show would be a lot more entertaining if you would take care of this speech quirk.
  • TeresaShell
    Love
    Tim Miller always stands on the side of democracy. He brings the conversation and interviews that we need. These are horrific difficult times & we need ppl speaking the truth. We need for ppl to understand what is really happening. Tim Miller does a great job doing it. He brings facts and truth. He will also let you know what we can do during these times.
  • NellieV
    One of my favorite podcasts
    LOVE ya’ll. You keep me informed, somewhat sane, and laughing. So much respect for being Never Trumpers.
  • swarthmore alpha wolf
    Beto O’Rourke
    I could have used a lot less f-bombs.
  • Belmont5565
    Cory Booker
    Tim did a great job but too bad Cory didn’t answer any questions. He needs to do more and talk less.(Cory not Tim) This interview proved that the democrats are not equipped to meet the moment. Talking about the past and no answers about the future. I listen to Tim everyday but had to turn it off.
  • Mazatlan Karen's
    Bulwark
    Great host. Stay strong and Keep up the good work.
  • Pablo Puppy
    Cory Booker
    Omg. I want the Senior Senator from NJ to run for President so much. Dude from the Ironbound has the chops, the ideas, the compassion. Best episode.
  • A UK fan
    Ukraine abandonment
    You are all disgraceful
  • OnTelephone
    Yes!!
    Love the guys and gals of the Bulwark pod network.
  • Mint tea
    Love the music at the end
    I have listened to many political news podcasts and I like the sober insights with some humor. The guests are outstanding. But I want to give special kudos to whoever who chooses the song at the end. It is always fitting. Sometimes it makes me smile. Sometimes it makes me tear up. Sometimes it makes me laugh out loud on the connection to the episode.
  • Holly 🌻
    Great convos and music
    Always great conversations, balanced and thoughtful, which as an ex-Christian/conservative never-republican democrat I always learn a lot from. I would love if the song at the end of each episode was listed in the show notes :)
  • RegMT2
    Jonathan Rauch
    Why Christianity? Or Judaism or Islam or…any of the large religious sects? Why not a community of people sharing life’s journeys and looking for the good in each other like Ethical Humanism? Agnostics, atheists and theists alike all welcome there.
  • Just plain done!
    Read the book first
    Great show
  • V-Spain
    Jonathan Rauch
    Yes to corruption as unifying message because now his corruption affects all of us- cutting important programs for his gain- Social Security etc. just FOCUS relentlessly!!
  • DenverNon-hiker7
    Less Michael Steele
    I generally enjoy the podcast even as a much more liberal person, but I had to stop listening to the Michael Steele episode. Too many cringe declarative statements that aren’t even logical or considered-Pete Hegseth is “even worse” than Gaetz ? The Magna Carta is your model ? The Magna Carta was historically NOT actually concerned with the “everyday man”; it argued for the rights of all free men, which at the time it was written included primarily everyone BUT the “everyday man”.
  • Agatha248
    Tim Miller
    Always love listening to Tim.
  • Suzikynn541
    Excellent
    Tim is so refreshing, authentic and insightful. If you love to The Bulwark, try “I’ve Had It” podcast too.
  • Cheesey5678
    Can we stop talking about the obvious laws Trump is breaking!
    What about solutions, what we can do, how to we impeach this cabinet! We all know it’s horrific!
  • Marcnorl
    Tim Miller - an authentic, informative personality
    I might disagree with Tim on a few items but a fan of all things bulwark and especially so him. His authenticity is a big part of that
  • letsgobills
    Can’t get enough of The Bulwark
    Have seen Tim on Deadline Whitehouse with Nicole Wallace and always enjoy his takes. Now I am a hardcore Bulwark fan. Can’t recommend this podcast enough. Give it a listen- Tim Miller, Sam Stein, Sarah Longwell and JVL are my favorites.
  • JudyECFL
    Listening to you
    Tim Miller is peaking at exactly the right time. Sail on Brother! Keep your stride.
  • pataphysician
    Worthy podcast
    Rather than stress the high quality of this podcast’s analysis I propose an awful scenario: they won’t try to bring people back because that would reveal they’re no longer alive. Better to own being a pack of pricks than accomplices after the fact.
  • Glacier1975
    It is still all a lie
    This group of talking heads is a group that has never been on the winning side. They are - much like the Republican talking heads - here for the grift. When both the democrats -see Chris Whipple book- amd the Trump kingdom are lying about pretty much all things… reference the title above. Waste of my time. And yours.
