When I want to go deeper in the news I go to this podcast. The reporters are well-informed and they care. I am always confused about the choice of ads, especially for Success Academy, a charter school that makes it impossible for kids with learning differences to stay, but I live in hope that one day The Intercept will report on them. We all need to pay bills, so I don’t blame them; it’s just always weird to hear such neo liberal companies advertised on such a leftist podcast.

Thank you.

When I play the “How to Really Resist” the first thing is an ad for Whole Foods. Is this a practical joke?

The intercept was the paper that broke the American is torturing some folks stories. Now they are an ideological news letter. Less into exposing corruption and malfeasance at the highest levels. Instead, we they are here to tell you that America is evil for wanting prosperity, and that we need to vote against our own best interest, liberties, and prosperity, because we as Americans are bad and need to suffer.

It’s so much more than a “constitutional crisis.” It’s a coup.

Timely left and progressive topics spoken through the standard fair Washington consensus opinion filter. Waste of air time since the last year or so.

I’m often critical of podcasts light on content. This one is so packed with information, analysis, & background information(key), I am judicious about when to listen. There’s no letting your brain go on autopilot for this series.** Update, knocking down stars due to lighter content and vocal fry.

If you allow places like Qatar to advertise on your podcast, you lose at least one listener, and you bring question to the integrity of your mission. How can the Intercept talk out of both sides of their mouth so often? Reconcile your willingness to do business with tyrannical, anti-LGBTQ, misogynistic and I might come back. This is unforgivable unless you’re willing to change in the way you demand others to do so. Hypocrisy is glaring here!

Things that most media skip.

I want to listen to Intercepted Briefing but one of the female host’s vocal fry is unbearable. I feel bad saying this because women are so sick of criticism, but thought I’d add why I am unable to listen.

I used to enjoy the show but now it’s a bunch of insufferable leftists who didn’t vote for Harris/other dems and now they are Monday morning quarterbacks of why they lost the election. These people are the worst and I hope they like watching Trump giving Israel the go ahead to level Gaza

I used to love this podcast with Jeremy Scahill and his team (where are they?). I gave a try with the new crew and could not continue listening to the unbearable vocal fry of Jessica Washington. Why does she need to speak like that? Please don’t!

Covering important topics in an earnest way.

Until I watched the movie Reality. I don’t know how anyone could ever trust these traitors.

We need more investigative journalism like this.

Used to love this, listened to every episode for years. It’s now slowly slipped into trashcast land. Officially done with this.

Biden is a “COWARD” towards The Israeli Government! I am an Independent and our nation is “TROUBLE” with the choices we have. For America, this is ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!

This is not news. This is someone’s opinion parading as a news podcast.

No attempt is made in this podcast to steel-man both sides. This podcast is for those on the far left looking to confirm their previously held beliefs about the world without the dissonance of considering that the other side might be right about important things.

Grateful to have a news podcast that doesn’t shy away from telling it like it is.

I can rely on Intercepted to provide facts in an articulate and fair way. It is a world away from main stream media and podcasts. I learn so much.

Excellent journalism, in-depth interviews, essential and comprehensive coverage.

The podcast deal with the most pressing issues of our time. It is diverges from mainstream news sources and does incredible investigative journalism.

“This is Israeli society.” So I’m sure that you would - correctly so - say “Not all Palestinians support what Hamas did on October 7th.” So how can you sit there and make the claim that Israeli society is bloodthirsty and actually wants Palestinians slaughtered while being used by Hamas as human shields. Got it.

I have been a grateful and enthusiastic listener since this podcast started. It is still the only one of my subscribed podcasts which I have set to download automatically, because I know that I will never want to miss an episode. So glad that Jeremy is back on a regular basis after a long absence where his presence was missed. Keep up the great work, Intercepted team.

Great podcast and episode for in-depth justice truth seeking journalism. Thank you Jeremy and Team for cutting through propaganda

TY. Informative show. Rami Khouri would be a great guest to explain the historical background of the current problems in Palestine. Just a thought. Keep up the good work!

Jeremy is such a blowhard. Great guests with very interesting views that don’t get a chance to talk tbecause Scahill just talks, talks forever.

Informative!!

Their stance and reporting on the genocide in Gaza, as well as other issues is excellent. Very dry and analytical, the best form of journalism imo.

It takes a great journalist to do great reporting. Jeremy and Moz do both well. When I want insight into the most important issues of the day, Intercepted is where I listen.

One sentence from Amal Saad brought me to the brink of writing this short review.. I don’t know whether is his abject ignorance or personal enmity towards certain regional powers (particularly Iran) that makes one less enthused about any episode that Murtaza Hussein opines or questions the guests which nine out of ten displays his prejudicial viewpoint right off the bat! But on this episode of January (Where #Amal_Saad and Saleh Kareem were present) I am glad it was Ms. Saad that decided to throw Murtaza’s willful ignorance to his face, asking him to STOP naming every resistance group as #Proxy of this or that, as if those people standing up to the most vicious powers have neither the strong WILL nor the #courage of their own as if l they’re bunch of puppets that are controlled by an evil mastermind! Dear Murtaza, hopefully Ms.Saad thought you a valuable lesson.. please either educate yourself or show your true colors when you’re invited to CNN, Fox or MSNBC to pander their viewpoints!

Very biased coverage of conflict. Would not recommend to anyone looking for truthful unbiased reporting. I was very disappointed in the conversations.

So refreshing to hear a real analysis without the bias of mainstream media.

Jeremy and his guest are bringing an in depth analysis of the recent events. Thank you.

I appreciate the POV of this podcast, as almost all other news sources seem to be parroting Israeli propaganda.

Just tuned into this podcast. Amazing work with so much depth. As I’m listening to your latest episode it gave me pause to know you’d be featuring Tanehisi Coates and his trip to Gaza thru PalFest. Since his piece on reparations I’ve been extremely critical of him and how he framed reparations in relation to Israel. I was so happy to hear how much he’s changed since this important work. I feel redemption that I’ve been hating on him for years about this and he finally acknowledged his mistakes. Keep up the good work and thank you for all you do.

For progressives not liberals or conservatives. Listen if you want to learn.

I enjoyed their podcast “American IsIs” which seemed balanced for most part, except the final episode where the host referred to an American isis terrorist who died in Syria a “chill guy” who just wanted to live his life by Islam and suggested American intolerance was the reason he was radicalized. I wanted to hear what else they have to offer but the first 10 min made me sick

I want to open with an apology that my first review of this podcast is a negative one when I’ve listened to every episode for years and have valued the content and reporting immensely. I didn’t intend to write a review, but this interview stuck under my skin. The interview with Mairav came across as apologist. Even allowing Mairav to claim, “the Hamas attack on the 7th could be considered a genocidal attempt” with no pushback from the host on the history of Hamas (and Israeli support for their rise or the self-defense aspect of Palestinians being under occupation and apartheid) or concerns for the actual definition of genocide. Beyond that, giving a platform to a voice speaking to the seemingly mild discomfort of being in Tel Aviv, where bomb shelters exist (even private or semi-private ones it seems according to Mairav?) at a time when such a brutal massacre is occurring in Gaza came across as insultingly tone deaf to the current moment. And lastly I’ll say, Mairav even explicitly said she’s never experienced antisemitism, but is generally concerned about its rise given current events. I don’t think if you’d interviewed a Muslim in the OPT they could possibly say they’ve never experienced discrimination. The focus on an Israeli-American for this episode was a mistake. I have never experienced this kind of outrage and shock at an Intercepted podcast prior and I truly expect better. I’m still giving 5 stars because overall your reporting is invaluable, but I do hope you rethink platforming a voice like this in the future. Apologies for any typos as this was written on a phone. Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback.

This is the one podcast I can rely on.

Used to love this podcast. But the biased coverage and misinformation of the war in the Middle East is next level.

How can you give any air time to a terrorist, what kind of answers did you expect, you knew he was going to lie, so why give him an opportunity to place them out in an interview… Shame on you for giving him legitimacy!!

I appreciate the next level, detailed reporting to help me understand all the nuances of the headlines. I especially like the calm demeanor of the host and the lack of histrionics that other podcasts have.

I have found that I must turn in to Intercepted and Deconstructed to really understand what is going on behind the headlines and mainstream news articles. (And of course you get nothing on the legs of MSNBC.) Today, for example, I wanted to learn more about the Niger situation, and found that episode entirely enlightening, as is typical for these podcasts. 100% credible and thorough. Super interesting.

The latest episode on the Israeli protests is a must listen. Mairav Zonszein is a true gem.

The Intercept has been co-opted by the CIA. Controlled opposition. Where are Snowden’s files? Where is Greenwald? Where is Manning? Where is Reality Winner? Where is ASSANGE? Where does The Intercept’s funding come from? Pierre Omidiyar, a billionaire.

Can you provide more in-depth podcasts? This show is a fresh start, a new beginning for progressive thought in this country and abroad.

Just listened to the podcast on Pakistan. Outstanding! Will listen more in the future.

I am back to upgrade The Intercept back to 5 stars. The return of Jeremy Scahill has reinvigorated the pod and his laser focus and erudite conversation with guests are the best part of my podcast listening week again. I genuinely can’t think of any other journalist who is able to factually convey such vital history of corruption, abuse of power, and other criminality and show so definitively how it links firmly back into the rotting firmaments of today’s world of failed governments not serving the People. Scahill is a brilliant mind and spellbinding voice of truth and integrity in journalism. The education the listener receives is invaluable and leaves one better equipped to see through the pantomime political figures indulge in daily. Mr. Scahill, please never leave us again. You are the definitive voice of professional, responsible, and truthful journalism for all generations.
