I love The Bulwark been listening since 2019

Level-Headed, Fact Based

20 years ago I would have been considered far left, perhaps even socialist. The Bulwark is a family of sorts for me: right/left, young/old, military/socially liberally active, respectful. The common thread of the folks at The BW is a drive to save our liberal democracy. My grandfather used to say "I'd be a Democrat if it wasn't for abortion." If he was alive today, he'd identify as a Democrat and he would listen to/watch The Bulwark.

Keeping Me Sane

Dear Bulwark, keep calling out the madness. It’s keeping me sane.

Varied content, solid hosts and guests

Only complaints are lack of time to listen to more than 6-8 shows a week, and audio engineering is funky on volume, with variation between voices, and Tim Miller often Kristoling (tossing off 3-5 extra dependent clauses, sotto voce, as a digression or qualification, before inhaling to begin the next sentence).

Highly recommended.
