    Thank you
    Very important to hear the libertarian positions on tech and energy. Good commentary and banter. Worthwhile.
  • Romanofzki
    A must listen
    Balanced and informative podcast from one of the best think tanks in the nation. Worth a listen for educated opinions on all current topics.
  • Tgsnmom
    The best
    Y’all are great! Wish you could do more of these in a week. Would love a weekly show from you.
  • SF M
    Informative and Fun

  • 666halo
    Great podcast
    The Heartland Institute is actually bound by truth, Logic, facts & data, & that’s exactly what everyone seem to be lacking these days. Thanks for the hard work guys & of course, he podcast is also hilarious. Whatever is going on between Orr & Haskins, although friendly, is just great content. The bit of comic relief tips it off. Keep up the great work dudes, America needs this. God Bless America. 🇺🇸

    Great Show
    These guys really bring it. They keep it light while approaching serious topics of our day. Any way we can make this podcast daily rather than weekly?
  • katmorganx
    I tried.
    I tried to listen with an open mind. I really did. But it’s just so bad. Host and guests have very very very poor logic and reasoning skills. For instance, prompted with the problem: “A component of “X” system is bad. You’re options are fix the broken component or burn the whole system down”. The Heritage Institute chooses to burn it down every forking time - then revels in their genius.

    Keeps me up to date on Think Tanks
    In the Tank is a great aggregator of the work being done by think tanks around the country. The back and forth banter is both informative and engaging. I look forward to it every week.
