Well spoken, well researched and civic minded podcast that interviews relevant guests on topics affect us differently and that we should care about. The best podcast out there. Ralph is my hero! Update 2025 -still my hero!

Ralph Nader inspires confidence by his knowledge rooted in experience, his perseverance in addressing governmental inaction and other violations, and his forthright purpose in word and action. This show is a treasure!

Ralph Nader and team create informative discussions that inspire action. Thank you all.

This program along with Democracy Now! have been the only two that I have discovered that give honest accounts of the conflict and terror and widening war radiating out from Gaza. No humane and decent country should be making money by building bombs that kill whole generations of families. The IS taxpayer is financing this terror. Thank you Elizabeth

Ralph is a American hero he fights for justice from food safety and goes after all the corruption in America corporations and the war machine he is a voice that needs to be heard .

It’s a blessing Ralph is still as intellectually as sharp at his advanced age. I implicitly believe his opinions.

Latest show is a perfect example of my problem with Ralph’s show. The platforming of Prof Fish and his nonsensical defense of Democrats and defense of their policies both foreign and domestic. There is little difference between dems and republicans and Ralph is too nice challenging Prof Fish. Coverage of USD liberty is excellent and not enough can be said regarding this incident and crime committed against our servicemen.

Topics discussed hear impact us all. Yet, we won’t get this information from the NYT, or AP.

We are all familiar with the trap we are stuck in. How consent is manufactured. What “they” get away with. How “they” lie, rob us of our very lives. This podcast as well as every progressive podcast amounts is endlessly depressing because nobody has any solutions except, contact you congressman. In other words no solution. Could you please have a guest who is willing to at least spitball some creative solutions. Some new strategies? If you can’t find anyone please contact me.

This show casually quotes Thomas Jefferson & James Madison for their democracy stands, but doesn’t render those stances moot since they enslaved human beings; Lose me on I am being politically correct: Equality, Due Process, Freedom & respect of life is important than made up categories like politically correct

Listen to Ralph Nader if you want to know the TRUTH about current injustices.

I love Ralph’s podcast ! I listen to Sherry Turkle and feel yuck. Sorry for my criticism, Marco the tucson cowboy

Unless you are extremely libertarian, this is the best show for anyone seeking civic enlightenment!!! It shows what “main sewage” media is missing and how we as a people need to do ourselves better. Ralph is a great American treasure as the most honorable man in this country!!!

This is one of the most impressive podcasts in my playlist. I recently subscribed and I am hooked. The intelligence and clarity of the conversation between Ralph and guest is entertaining and effective. The topics are relevant to the majority of US citizens/consumers. Instead of just another podcast providing another take on the current news cycle, this show discusses subjects that impacts the majority of us directly. Give it a try.

Love Ralph Nader!

Listen if you want to hear what’s really going on.

I went to your presidential primary years ago and have listened to your podcast for a while, and I am disappointed if you supporting Seymour and his Russian thing, you should’ve pushed back, and Ukraine is fighting for freedom and democracy. Very disappointing.

I appreciate Ralph Nader and his guests who are willing to talk about difficult topics for our country that I won't always hear on other news. For example, today talking about George Bush war crimes... or in the past examining faulty passenger planes. keep it coming!

Nader gives us the straight scoop and he would’ve made a great president. How much farther? How much longer?

I wonder how many people Michael has treated?

When we start falling under the spell of the Democratic Party, listening to Ralph keeps us honest and true to our progressive ideals. Interview with David Gelles on Jack Welch was very educational (and I have not heard about this book anywhere else -- just ordered it!). Looking forward to Ralph's commentary on the Inflation Reduction Act (we'll see if he can pop my happy bubble).

The man who wrote the clean air & clean water acts subject of the infamous Powell letter as Nasim Taleb said a secular saint.

Ralph, are an extraordinary person! Thank you for keeping listeners informed on so many important issues. There is a lot that needs to change in corporate America!

I love the shows. Specifically conversation about the repair concept. Could relate to the toaster, having revived a switch problem with my 30+ year old Black and Decker toaster oven 2years ago. It’s still working. I take repair a step further than most, darning thin areas on the sole of my socks. Who darns socks these days? Socks aren’t cheap and it more than doubles their life. I wish more appliances and cars were made durable with repairable parts instead of replaceable parts. My standard shift Scion continues on its original clutch but may soon need a 2nd(!!) manual shift, because they no longer adjust them, just replace them! It’s not just the weakness of parts; people aren’t trained to do these repairs. Approaching 300K miles, with the car market shortage, hard to know what’s best. Thank You for another great show!

Very informative and truthful

You could replace healthcare with, climate, low pay, taxation of the rich it’s always the same❗️That’s why I don’t write or support any parties. They’ve all been bought !? We don’t stand a chance. I am absolutely against violence of any kind❗️however a peoples uprising is all we can do. I so admire your comment to all of us in this country, Thank You❣️

Trust me pbs is basically enreachable. I am sure they are aware of this. They should be shut down. Judy should be sent to a trump hotel. It’s over the top evil. Playing those heart strings. It’s evil. Koch brothers tv

Nader still delivers, every week, without fail. In an era when many so-called leftists have sold out to corporate interests, we need a show like this to expose the practical, measurable effects of policy on people.

Do y’all have a place to comment on each podcast? I’d like to comment on a Ralph Nader podcast and can’t find a place to comment and participate. I like the podcast but I want to comment and read other comments. I give y’all a 4 instead of a 5 because there are no comments. Maybe there is a place but it’s hard to find.

This is the podcast I'm listening to the most these days. I am going through the past episodes. You might think having three hosts would be chaotic, but this show proves three hosts can work. The three hosts' personalities complement each other and balance each other. Ralph is the Progressive elder sharing wisdom and insight. David plays the critical thinker and devil's advocate. Public Citizen board member Steve balances work ethic and a sense of humor. I imagine because of this Public Citizen board meetings rock with Steve on them. Steve is also a great filmmaker. Ralph demonstrates open mindedness as he advances Progressive values, yet he also advances "left right coalitions", optimism, local business, small business, entrepreneurship, the First Amendment, and free speech. Ralph demonstrates emotional intelligence by honoring his guests and praising his guests' accomplishments and by acknowledging and soliciting Dave and Steve's input and contributions. This show offers new ideas and intellectual stimulation as well as Progressive inspiration. I plan to keep listening to this show.

I continue to be impressed by Ralph and his ability to be incisive about issues and know the details and have a long history of knowledge with them sometimes way more than the knowledge his guest has.He is and continues to be humble and modest when guests who couldn't remember the name of his book just the content, Ralph did not have to interrupt to repeat the name of his book as I've heard other podcast hosts do. Also Steve and David contribute with their also insightful questions based on the podcast we've just heard with some different perspectives that are interesting. I also appreciate the the after Segment for podcast listeners where Ralph will take specific questions and always answers them with knowledgeable answers. I don't know Ralph's age but he's an inspiration to seniors remaining cognitively balanced and clear at an older age. Must be his diet or the fact that he thinks a lot

Mr Nader has become my hero. Not only is the program consistently informative and honest, it is a roadmap for ways to live a better life and make the world a better place. I treasure my time with the crew each week

Ralph remains the most trustworthy and inspirational person alive. He’s been on the right side of just about every issue for his entire life. The podcast is just as consistent. Thanks, gang!

Brilliant man / brilliant content.

Mr Nader & team, thank you for unpacking the state of our nation every week. I truly appreciate your insight and opinion with regards to our political landscape. As I listen to you and your guests, I can’t help but ask myself, “why do certain societal groups fear loosing their position of control and power?” “Why the sadistic personality to the point of forcing an outcome that isolates, destroys, and shames others humans while leading people away from evidence/facts to the realm of opinions?” “Why the ruthless criminalization of the poor, the foreign and the less fortunate, while total immunity is freely given to others?” Is the cost of failure that high, that we have such a dominating society? Thank you again, especially, for not remaining silent.

ralph & company highlight such important issues. we’ll be a better world when we all have this attitudes, action points, and priorities.

When Trump got elected, I was casting about for sane voices. After a few weeks mumbling, “Where is Ralph Nader nowadays?” I found this podcast. I haven’t missed an episode since, and learn so much every time. Ralph is a hero and I am so grateful he continues to give to the community in this and so many other ways. This podcast is insightful, bold, and fascinating. I wish the power brokers in every industry would subscribe. We’d have a much stronger democracy and healthier community. Thank you to the team who makes this podcast possible!

Thank you for this podcast i am kept to be i formed and know what actually going on based on fact and evidence and science. Very very good resource for other thing like books and authors. I have learnt so so much.

Always brilliant; I listen every week.

This show is so informative! It provides new and background information on topics that no-one in the popular media ever touches. Broadly, there is a lack of in depth reporting in America and thus a lack of informed citizenry. Listening to Ralph gets to background and perspectives on issues not covered on the MSNBC, CNN, etc. I am so grateful to have found this podcast and have been sharing with others.

Ralph Nader has walked the walk and talked the talk during his lifetime of service. It’s refreshing to hear the wisdom from a revered elder statesman’s regarding socialism and social issues. We need to hear more from the men and women who have long term knowledge of the movement. Respect. He didn’t just turn socialist in graduate school last year - as have many of the children who believe that they re-invented this.

A simple more understandable definition of socialism is an organization supported solely by taxpayers. This includes the fire department, police department, US Army, Navy, Air Force, the federal government itself, state government, public school systems, NASA, and welfare. These are all good things all paid for by taxpayers as all examples of socialism. A simple definition of capitalism is an enterprise whose revenue comes from products sold competitively. Examples are cell phone sales, auto sales, and computer sales. These are good things too. The key is a proper balance reference socialism and capitalism in the economy. One that keeps prices low (as we see little incentive to keep prices low-in socialism) and avoids damage to innocent people to obtain profit (which capitalism profit incentives can lead to.

Just read the profile of Nader and how he’s kept it to science his whole career. His criticism of the two party system predates jimmy dore and does so with a collected attitude. I like Dore, but he is a sensationalist. Something I’m sure he learned in his previous career. Nader is legit trying to speak the language of all Americans or at least come to the understanding of it without yelling at you in the process. He brings on expert guests that talk out every popular scenario with a scientific method approach that seeks out variables, cause, and effect while not pushing any narrative or conclusion. Just something for one to think about. I thoroughly enjoy this podcast because it gives me a collected perspective without hyping me into some fanatical rant. I’m sure the burden is far too great at this point and with all of his previous attempts, but a run at the White House again wouldn’t be a bad idea for Ralph. Especially these days.

Mr. Nader, albeit indirectly and inadvertently, brought us down the path to the Iraq War. He also brought us further down the road to Climate Change. Yes, without Nader running for President, and sifting progressive votes, George W loses the election. I remember Nader saying the old line that there is virtualluy no difference between Bush and Gore. This is the same sort of doctrine that led voters to think that Clinton and Trump were the same sides of a coin. Quite a thinker, this guy.

I believe in freedom of speech but I don’t believe in people being rude and abusive to others. You brought on a manipulative Republican linguist and he abused one of your staff Ralph.I think Frank Luntz was extremely disrespectful to David and it’s all because he was bringing up the idea of the moral high road for the Democrats. Lunch should’ve listened and he could have giving a non-emotional respect full response instead he was hateful. Please don’t even invite hateful people on your show again. Hate is to me comparable to yelling fire in a movie theater. Where was your free-speech Ralph why did you allow it? You came across looking very weak and the Republican once again came across looking very abusive.

Ralph’s heart is in the right place, but he’s a bit too blinded by his politics to really see issues clearly most of the time. If you want a left perspective that’s more free-thinking, check out Matt Taibbi, Caitlin Johnstone, or even Jimmy Dore instead.

Somehow, Ian knows a giant backlog of experts and vastly experienced, articulate people. Maybe not the happy news you WANT to hear, but certainly necessary in these interesting times.
