Unfortunately, the hosts and reporters always seem to paint a negative picture of the economy, and America. If you listen to this podcast you could come away thinking America’s a pretty awful place. Wish it was objective, not political

Bias
A podcast supposedly about FIFA corruption turns into a bash America podcast. You guys are just so obnoxious.

Love this show!
I love this podcast! I am only 12 and never miss an episode because it is so good. I finally know what’s going on in the world.

Mostly very good
Overall, I really enjoy the show. It keeps me updated on current events, and allows me to know a little about a lot.
Every once in a while, it will get a little woke, or sneak in some identity politics, which I think most normal people are fatigued by.

Just listened to “Is Florida Just for Rich People Now?”. If you want to know what Florida looks like in 5 years, come do a Hawaii episode.

Why are the episodes so short?
I feel like as I’m getting invested, they end 😭 would love some more detail with the interviews and breaking down the topic for the episode.

Quickly became my go-to
I was recently introduced to this show by a friend, and within the span of a few weeks it has become a staple in my rotation. I now listen to it more frequently than I do NYT The Daily, I find their reporting to be better and less filled with unnecessary fluff.

More cowbell!
The loud background music is really distracting. It’s too much.

Better to wait and see…
Disappointed in today’s show. Sweeping statements about worsening in hardline leadership in Iran without credible evidence. You undermine the integrity of the WSJ with episodes like this.

Love this.

The Journal
Enjoy this channel, these podcasts -so much and keeps me current! But I agree that the woman host who tries to speak in lower register croaks and FRIES HER VOICE. Please stop..
Thank u

Horrible cherry picked “ journalism “
What are we to take away from the Americans are now targets episode? Somehow WSJ couldn’t find any videos of officers being assaulted, yet I can find 20 of them with a simple YouTube search. Then to cherry pick the one questionable case as an example is horrible journalism. You want your readers to believe these poor people were only protesting peacefully and the big bad trump admin arrested them with no cause. In other words dont believe your eyes believe what we are telling you which is a well worn leftist tactic

I appreciate the reporting!
I appreciate the reporting, especially the investigative journalism! Though I do want to add that the vocal fry (that croaking sound in the voice) makes it so difficult for me to listen to sometimes I have to turn it off. :(

Paid subscribers still have ads
Love this show and everything that WSJ does but I am a paying customer of their news and still get ads on all their podcasts. People giving you money every month should have have to listen through ads

Insincere disconnected
A dragged out white privileged rich perspective. Don’t waste your time if you’re not ultra wealthy … awful opinions by awful people. Did they just do a fertility episode, when our country is fighting immigration? You focus on the privileged perspective of someone spending money on fertility against their biology when hundreds of thousands of people risk everything to get a basic economic opportunity in life?.. yeah there’s something wrong with these people if they don’t see the faults in that story. So clearly their audience is not the populous but the elite

Very selective and biased
Plenty of left leaning selective podcasting that neglects the need for unbiased news. The stories are selected and very one sided. I challenge them to have an episode that is not from a left leaning perspective.
Merika!
Apparently, Epstein isn’t worth a mention
While the rest of the world has been on fire about the Jeffrey Epstein files for the last three weeks, the Journal seems to think China’s activities in Ohio are far more interesting. In fact, the journal seems to think everything is more interesting than this. But what is truly scary is that the right leaning version of this podcast, also by the Wall Street Journal, “Potomac watch“ has also not mentioned it. Literally not one mention. Go check. It has actually been laughable the kind of “news“ they are digging up so they don’t have to report on this. Just another reason to switch to independent reporting. Shame on you, Wall Street Journal.

Episodes Need Organizing
I stumbled across Camp Swamp Road via a list of recommended podcast. I am from and live in SC and less than 2hrs from the case so it caught my attention. The journalism and telling of the case was fantastic and educational. I wish more individuals truly understood Stand Your Ground and the nuances that can further complicate the law, state to state. My only complaint about The Journal, as a whole, is the lack of organization, with its content. I had to search the title and find each episode of this particular series. The Journal provides great individual podcasts about various matters, but is not easy to follow a story line or know if it’s multiple episodes, a quick breaking news update, a deeper dive on a subject matter.. etc. It would be 5 stars if the content was categorized and easier to navigate. Otherwise, searching Camp Swamp Road was worth searching for. Great investigative journalism.

Hit piece on Vinay Prasad was the absolute last straw
You tried to caricature him as an anti vaccine loon when he was extremely pro covid vaccines, just not for children. Absurd. Did you even reach out to him for interview about WHY he denied the Moderna flu shot?
I have been a listener for ten years now. I am done. I don’t know why you would debase the good name of the WSJ with this bad reporting.

A must listen
Great way to keep up

I am really enjoying this show, but it’s so hard to find! It’s buried in the WSJ page and I can only find it when I actually enter the title into the search bar… I stumbled across this podcast by accident a few weeks ago… then it took forever to find it again b/c I couldn’t remember the exact title. I’m sure more people would listen if this wasn’t so hard to find.

Biased, feigning inspired content
What a disappointment! I went to the Wall Street Journal, expecting to have incisive and balanced coverage. Unfortunately, what I found instead was an unsophisticated and sophistic pile of rhetorical drivel.
This is bare sophistry masquerading as good journalism. Stay away!

Good Delivery but Incomplete Stories
I really want to like this show, but it loses me everytime I've tried to listen. The topics are interesting and the delivery is engaging, but there are a lot of ads for such short stories, and every story feels incomplete. They have simply ended without any resolution or wrap up even when the story is historical. I'm not sure why WSJ keeps producing partial stories, but I'm going to sit this on the shelf and unfollow at this point. I might start listening again if I learn that they have fixed this issue of incomplete storytelling.

Medical topics need more balanced coverage
Great show overall, but medical topics need more balanced coverage. There have been multiple shows about the risks of psychiatric medication without ever getting a physician’s perspective. Do better and try to accurately represent both sides of a complex issue.

My go to story of the day
The Journal podcast from WSJ is my favorite podcast of the weekday. Every story covered in each episode is just great quality, to the point, and interesting. Appreciate all the hard work from Jess and Ryan and the rest of the Journal team at the WSJ.

A little shallow
They have a tendency to leave out the criticism of the subject. I dont notice if Im not familiar with the subject but its very apparent when I am. It really shows the bias of the reporting. More hype than honest fact telling

Poor Grammar and Lisps
The reporters are not proficient English speakers and make constant grammar mistakes. As an immigrant, I learned English from listening to the news. I’m hesitant to let my kids listen, I don’t want them picking up on improper grammar.

Do a little research
I just listened to the podcast about AMD, taking on Nvidia and was struck by the lack of historical perspective that the author presents. First of all AMD is a major player in the semiconductor industry and always has. And they’ve taken on Giants before. This is not the first time. Intel was the giant in the semiconductor industry 20 years ago. And AMD was worthy Challenger and often overtook Intel in the race for computing chips. Get a sense of history before you report such sensationalistic things as if they never happened before. True. AMD‘s actions are extremely interesting and it’s a challenge Nvidia, but it’s not like they haven’t done it before.

You guys are wrong about them having such a small share. Incredible pod otherwise

The best hosts and stories
This is one of my favorite podcast that I look forward to listening every day after work. Shout out to the entire team who is so good at discovering, exploring and delivering these amazing stories!

Best misleading journalism
I used to love this podcast until they reported on a topic/industry I actually work in, and wow, so misleading. The average person outside this industry wouldn’t know how misleading they are.
Very unfortunate that I thought I was getting good knowledge on broad topics, but know that this is entertainment first and journalism second.

It’s over
I used to enjoy the show but the economy is on its death bed and they’re talking about selling Pokémon cards figures though considering who owns WSJ

You’re Losing Me
I’ve been a fan of the show for a while but I’m having more issues the more I listen. I find it irritating that Jessica Mendoza laughs quite a bit at seemingly inappropriate times? Also I’m not really always vibing with the lighthearted vibes in general, especially when they discuss more serious topics. Do we need jokes every episode?

Can WSJ find some professionals?
The valley girl accents of the hosts are so obnoxious and unprofessional. How can people take anything said here seriously.

Giggle
Why do these two host women Peterson and Mendoza giggle for no reason every minute. Like seven year old girls. They are grown women and not children. A little too much for me. They are better suited for the sound track for SNL.

What an awesome piece of journalism. Hoping this store gets more attention. The corruption is insane! Very well done.

“Exmo” Influencers take on Mormonism
I was a little discouraged to see the Journal giving a platform for people who want to ridicule that which is sacred and holy in another person’s religion. Mormon temple rites pose no threat to the public welfare, and the idle curiosity of your readers is likewise insufficient justification for such investigations. Respect for differences sometimes means allowing privacy.

Disappointing, lacking truth
The hit piece on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is disappointing and unfair. Once again showing their bias and lack of truth telling.

All downhill after Kate Linebaugh left
Stories are a lot thinner now. A recent episode about Mamdani winning the NY primary was just paper thin. Old episodes had more substance.

Generally Great
I like the podcast, but using phrases like “they said, they said” instead of “he said, she said” continues to show their movement to the left.

Disappointed
Occasionally a good show but some of
the worst journalism I have seen such as focusing on an exception to represent the majority

Camp Swamp Road
I have zero ties to this case. I started listening to this podcast with a pretty open and unbiased mind. But it was very clear, very early on that there was an opinion and a clear bias in the telling of this story. I feel for both sides of this story / case. It unfortunately didn’t need to come to the ultimate outcome. But as presented, no matter how much you try to pull at our heartstrings… the facts are the facts. Where there some unflattering things said, yes. Were there some questionable actions taken by one of the cops, yes. But as the stand your ground law is written in the state of South Carolina this was a matter of self defense, hence why charges have not been filed. Also, there is no such thing as “murder” insurance. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying that. Again, clear bias. Not reporting. The “reporter” was telling a story, pushing a narrative. Not reporting on the facts of a case.

Camp Swamp Road is excellent! Valerie Bauerlein is fantastic. The corruption in this case is disgusting.
