    Good honest information
    I feel like I get good honest information listening to Sara and Tim and all the others. I always hated politics, but they’ve got me interested

    It’s the Music

    My ode to Elise
    A Classified Signal came to one named Stefanik: “We’ve sent the two Vances on a mission Greenlandic! Their main roles way up there are near-messianic: To change the big subject from SignalGate-tanic, Where pressure to fire Hegseth is almost volcanic. So Elise, you must Listen — because we’re now in Panic . . . In the House you have been a most faithful mechanic, Now you’ll save Our SecDef from the forces Satanic!”

    Bulwark has been a go to since Jan 20th
    I am a regular listener now, I dig your post-repub (?) left leaning contrarian perspective even if I'm a Bernie lefty contrarian. I also need your outrage over people getting kidnapped off the street with no notice or due process and your exhausted frustration is an island from the absurdism of capitulation. Amanda Carpenter was a little too regime apologist for my taste, but whatever, all ports in a storm. And yes from an ep earlier this week-I feel guilty and confused about anything good happening at the same time as this nightmare we're living too.

    Please try to be a little more encouraging
    There are people protesting! I think it would be helpful to highlight this. You very jadedly mentioned the protests on April 5th, but I know a ton of people who are planning to do this. If mass mobilization is what you want then please please help encourage it!
  • Eilah Wood
    Love the show
    But why were the April 5 hands off protests barely mentioned as an afterthought with Lovett? All the talk about how we need to be in streets but little support for those who are.

    Tim & Sam
    I tune in daily for up to date honest info on current politics. It’s nice to have some normal coverage that isn’t full of lies. Thanks guys for the good work you do!
  • Valued Pod Listener
    New fan of Jon Lovett
    I’m bummed that I missed the emo cast after the election that you had with Jon! I had to go back and listen to it after hearing you reference the crying today. I wish I had tuned in to your show for some company cos I really needed to commiserate with others who were devastated as well. You both expressed my feelings exactly. I was also mourning my ideals of what I thought America and American’s (family and friend’s included) stood for, and I am shocked by the normalization and acceptance of the worst parts of humanity. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability both Tim and Jon shared with us viewers then and now, and I’ll be looking for their commentary FIRST from here on out. Thank you for stopping the news for a bit just to feel and shake off the deep sadness and disgust of this moment we find ourselves in. I’d like to hear these two in conversation of the heart more often, please. We need it more than ever.

    My Favorite Political Podcast
    Thank you Bulwark team for keeping us updated on all of the current political news. You’re all a really great combination of intelligent and funny. You have quickly risen in the ranks to become my favorite podcast!
  • Concerned in Philadelphia
    Thank you so much!
    Loved the interviews in the Wes Moore and Michael Lewis podcasts. The perspectives of people with such different life experiences are the strength of democracy. Tim Miller is extending public horizons and showing us where to look for hope in these difficult times. You do good work.
  • MareJLW
    Good common sense
    I enjoy listening to this podcast to get the rest of the news critical to understand today’s crazy Trump regime
  • MeeshKing
    60+ fan girl
    Even though Tim gives shade to his 60+ female followers (lol), I’m still a giant fan girl!!! With his humility, temperament, snarky humor, etc., it brings a welcomed respite to my day, all while hearing about the twisted state of the world.
  • BlueAtlantis
    Quality show
    This podcast is a great mix of informative journalism, analysis, and some nice breaks of levity. When you listen to a lot of political podcast it’s nice to be able to smile every now and then. Keep up the great work!
  • Jargonwise
    Too many ads
    I love your Podcast and the guests you interview, but I don’t like the number of ads that appear on each show. Also, I don’t like how they break unannounced into your discussions. It totally disrupts the flow of the conversation.
  • Tarzjani
    Jeff Goldberg interview
    I think it’s time to play with same rule with these guys. Put out everything and show them what kind of loser they are. Everyone complains about them but turn around and capitulate
  • Prometheus---
    Great podcast
    MAGAs are not suicidal ….. Their recent behavior is not how a political party behaves that wants/plans to win the next election…..And that is due because they know there will be no election in 2026…..Trump will use his emergency powers to call off the election. Prometheus in Greek means to know before
  • Dothedance
    JV Hour
    While I enjoy tuning in to The Bulwark, the fact that it’s been this many years and they still struggle to get the podcast out at a reliable time day-to-day is disappointing. The Bulwark strives to be a journalist outlet for so many Americans, yet they can’t match their peers who reliably get their podcasts out day over day. Get it together Tim.
  • To T or not to Tee
    Consistently a Fantastic podcast!
    Tim Miller is remarkable. Balanced, reasonable, & exploring topics from a variety of perspectives. He behaves as a good human being. Insightful guests. Love this podcast. Thanks Tim & team who make this podcast possible.
  • Elizabarh Bennett
    Best Political Pod Ever
    The pod is always packed with up to date, excellent information. I never need to watch the news and hear the voice of he who shall not be named. Thank you. The episode with Michael Lewis was relaxed and brilliant, somehow optimistic in these sad times. Nice to know I am not alone in loving all of the wonderful things the government does (did).
  • IMJCK
    Tim for 28
    Tim thank you for fighting on behalf of love and truth. America is so very fortunate to have your voice. Keep speaking truth to power. Due process is what makes America AMERICA.
  • librarianscott
    Quality going down
    Now that they put a new podcast every ten minutes, the quality is going down, down, down. Especially when Tim is joined by Cam and other efforts to get the young folks sound worse than the worst TikTok video. I hope the Democrats don’t go down this route or they will turn off the voters.
  • DeLuca1974
    Another old lady who loves Tim
    Tim, please bring the Bulwark to Raleigh-Durham! Thank you for bringing Sarah Vowell on. I’ve been wondering/worrying about her since 2016 and it was delightful to hear from her.
  • TS3370
    Brilliant host, fantastic interviews
    Recently discovered and so grateful for this incredibly informative, intelligent and honest podcast. Phenomenal journalism and reporting. Tim Miller, I could listen to you all day long. Thank you for the work you are doing. I want to work for you! Power to the people, fight with strength and force, and hoping democracy prevails.. This is a must listen!
  • Moon421972
    Wes Moore
    What a breath of fresh air. Real talk and acknowledgment of errors is sorely needed
  • golgikanji
    Wes Moore
    I thought Wes Moore sounded like Senator Claghorn-tired and cliched phrasing, overly enthused. Why don't politicians just talk like normal people (but smarter)?
  • STex4
    Great interview!
    Loved the interview with Wes Moore! Appreciate all of the very necessary content you’re bringing.

    Keeps me sane
    Love your guests and analysis. Keeps me sane amid the madness.
  • Shane1890
    Thoughtful, accessible analysis
    A go-to for unique insights and deep expertise on current events, politics, and policy. They cover serious issues without taking themselves too seriously.
  • Rmx12388
    Tim is the hostess with the mostest
    Tim, you’re keeping me sane. Keep on keeping on. You should bring Bannon and Charlie Kirk on, you can take them Also, shout out to Bill Kristol Mondays, you guys are a great pair
  • Cpatel05

    Tim Miller, my daily sanity check!
    Grateful for the Bulwark and especially you Tim!!! Galloway and Tarlov were excellent guests. What a trio y’all were! Keep up the great work! The fabulous music at the end of every episode is always so perfect!

    Scott Galloway & Jessica Tarkovsky
    Consistent listener of your pods Tim. I especially enjoyed the podcast with Scott and Jessie. Some really poignant points were made that I’m interested in listening again and taking some notes. I appreciate your work and efforts in the political arena. Thank you!
  • Marshamcgregor
    A presidential candidate right now
    Tim, I totally agree with that notion. Joe Trippi (That Trippi Show podcast, he’s a former Dem strategist) emphasized the benefits of putting a dem presidential candidate out there right now, several weeks ago. If you can find the episode, it’s really worth a listen. Thanks for your essential voice and the sheer volume of work you produce.

    Can you talk without f-word
  • MaggieRoseLee
    Great Show With Various Knowledgeable Guests
    So appreciative of intelligent breakdown of current situation and trying to keep our democracy and Constitution in place for future generations.

    Dem guests.
    Big yes on jimmy garcia. Big no on fetterman. Love you Tim. Keep up the good work
  • Nola_D
    Good show, but too many empty, unnecessary expletives!
    I’d like to listen to your show while making breakfast and dinner for my family, but the foul language prevents me from doing so. I wish you’d leave out the empty, unnecessary swear words. It would give your insightful critique more weight and offer a much-needed salve to the general debauch of language that shapes our political and media landscape.
  • Barleymax031020
    Any Bulwark
    Any podcast by the Bulwark is sure to be factual and great content love them all !
  • Bunny Cub
    Love it but no Sam Stein
    Love this podcast but something about Sam Stein makes Tim almost manic and they end up overlapping talking and laughing— it’s so sloppy and annoying. Fun hang for them glad they enjoy each other—but not great podcasting. I can’t hear what anyone is saying!!!
  • Walks talks and sews
    Tim / General Hertling 🔥

    Getting Me Through!
    I came across Tim’s work when trying to understand what led to Jan 6th, and love both his book and now his podcasts, tv appearances, articles/substack, and all things Bulwark. He has truly never let me down. I feel like we share a lot of the same pacing of our anxieties about the Trump cohort, and share many similar values and outlooks as well. So I am just so grateful for you, Tim! I have many of my friends and even some of their parents on the Tim train too. Thank you for being so dedicated, down to earth, and clearly full of empathy. Your perspective and efforts are so appreciated!!
  • Reg884603
    Thanks a appreciated you for being you and sharing.
    In my opinion (Re: Musk, who doesn’t even pretend to be working in good faith, simply cancel one of his multiple Gov contracts over a cheaper offer by competitor. The greed and corruption that is now so rampant, Americans are being desensitized of their morals, ethics and values, commonsense, as well mental acuity. reasoning, conscience & willingness to help, share and connect.)
