Don’t waste your time

Why am I just now finding this podcast? This is an excellent and educating listen. Definitely add this to your listening routine.

Was hoping for some intelligent and insightful consideration of current topics, instead got an extremist political propaganda podcast from people who get their “news” from Facebook or Alex Jones. It was absolutely awful. Episode on SCOTUS decisions, and easy one to showcase in-depth coverage, and instead got a misrepresentation of every single case discussed. It’s sad and pathetic and ignorant.

What a great and clear explanation of the funding and procedural shenanigans going on in the US Congress. Thank you so much.

just enough wonk to educate but not so much that we get lost in the weeds. thank you for the "Tuberville explainer"

The progressives in the US have definitely taken the wrong side of human society. The US has lost spiritual intelligence. Knowing US missionaries, Israelis treat other cultures like lower class humans. They have brought some criticism from the Middle East upon themselves. IS college students are exactly what you have talked about. Colleges are recruiting LGBTQ+ students into the schools of education to spread their genderism k-12. My own Alumnus, Ole Miss, is actively recruiting LGBT+ students from rural areas and community colleges with the promise of paid tuition with promise to teach 3 years in the state of Mississippi. Their plan is to take over the K-12 student minds in Mississippi and beyond. Their school of diversity, imbedded inside the college of education, has a tool kit and mission statement similar to what BLM has published on their radical website. What a parallel!

I am very pleased to hear about project 2025. I like how Vivek has talked about getting control of the regulatory state and your project is a good way to make it happen.

I’ve missed Heritage Explains, glad it’s back with a new host and great new format.

Thumbs up

Commentary-based with evidence of extreme one-sided bias. Many discussions are counter to currently available data

I used to like this pod but you have gotten away from your mission. With Tim Doescher, this has become too much of an echo chamber for conservative talking points. I listen to have experts explain the situation. There is now too much opinion inserted into the podcasts and not enough expert analysis. I’m not here to be told what to think. Bring back more with Michele Cordero. I’ll be unsubscribing soon if it doesn’t improve.

Great information and facts not presented in most media. Especially valuable is when the explanations are related to specific laws or the Constitution.

Thank you!

Heritage Explains is exactly what the name implies. The source of the information is conservative research, driven by verifiable data. The opinions are not informed by personal bias so this is a must if you want trusted information to help you understand the reasoning behind the policies.

The Heritage Foundation researches relevant topics and succinctly presents their findings for the listeners. Their guests are representative of the government and community, making the show interesting.

The pandemic is winning; we are not. This is evident in only half of our population being fully vaccinated - amidst an already-broken healthcare landscape, an aging populace, CRE and SHC getting crushed, and those who are unvaccinated now placing those who are vaccinated, at risk (and themselves). Is it worth losing more people in 2022 than in 2021, which was greater than life-loss to C19 in 2020??? At what point should federal leadership say enough is enough and it’s time to protect our country, it’s people, close our borders in the interim, and get things under control from the threat of this insidious, unremitting, constantly-mutating pestilence?. In a public health crisis such as this we need greater protection measures, coming from the top- and the leadership, is lacking.

I appreciate your fact based constitutional approach to issues. It’s why I listen. Thanks!

Did your podcast get canceled or why does the Oct 25th episode on critical race theory not show up?

Impressively clear

May 23, 2012. Such a helpful explanation of inflation, its source and effect. Thank you!!

Smart reality-based conservative commentary. The great ideas applied to relevant contemporary issues.

Good information delivered in calm and factual manner.

Great podcast.

Excellent podcast. It cuts through the noise and presents clear and concise reasoning.

Finally, a place where the data speaks instead of opinions! Thank you!

Just how many podcasts does the Heritage Foundation have running right now to push their agenda? Truth doesn’t need such a propaganda machine like this & listeners of this podcast would be wise to remember this. It is exactly this that has divided our country to the point that we don’t even seem to have the same basic shared values that built this great nation

These type of shows are the problem we’re all in this mess of division. It’s just another echo chamber, in this case allowing conservatives to cycle through the same talking points over and over. In one episode, they discussed how the “liberal indoctrination in our schools” is why the riots happened and why statues have been torn down, because liberals “hate our country”. None of this is accurate. Does our education system lean left? 100%. Does it teach us to hate our country? Come on now. The riots were a spilling over of tensions after another senseless black man died at the hands of a police officer. Which is a part of the much longer building up of tension due to the systematic oppression of African Americans for centuries, starting with slavery and followed by Jim Crow laws which is followed by redlining and then the mass incarceration of African Americans. But acknowledging these FACTS result in conservatives dismissing it as “liberal indoctrination” in our schools. Shame.

I just discovered Heritage Explains and I can’t tell you how excited I am to start listening more. I listened to the interview with Larry Elswr who I knew about already from other interviews, and was enthralled. I am in search of the truth on current issues and I think this is one place to get the truth.

Excellent topics along with informative discussion.

Thank you for your podcast. I listen often and always am the better for it.

The topics are always fresh and presented in ways that are engaging and conversational. This podcast should be required listening for parents and children to start a dialogue about current events and history. We need this more than ever now.

I enjoy the explanations provided on the various issues. Just enough background to help explain the origin of what is currently in the news. Great job.

I love Heritage Foundation, but this podcast portrays their viewpoints as really shallow and not very well thought through. It does not counter the opposing viewpoints in its topics very well and the episode on going back to school makes conservatives sound like we don’t care about the older population when in fact I care and many others do very much, and that episode is extremely factually inaccurate in terms of science and also how school systems function.

I’m enjoying the Heritage podcast for its quality perspectives on current events, helping busy people like me grasp them in ways that mainstream media do not. I decided years ago that I was no longer going to rely on just PBS/NPR and network news, so I encourage listeners to try this out to broaden and deepen what they consume to formulate their worldview.

Great content and such a pleasant sound. Really helps me understand these issues quickly.

The TEAM at Heritage Explains does a fantastic job at digging deep into the issues that matter. I was especially pleased with this week’s interview with Mike Powell which addresses “What is going on at the Southern Border?”. It was a great reminder that we need to continue to discuss this important issue while so much attention is on COVID-19. The education continues and I look forward to future podcasts. Kudos to Michelle Cordero, Tim Descher (spelling?) and everyone on the TEAM!

I enjoy listening to Heritage explains while at work. Great podcast that educates.

High quality information from a trusted source Thanks for all these podcasts

Excellent work! Keep the good information flowing!

I love the weekly podcasts from Heritage Explains! The hosts and guests are engaging, the topics cover the ‘need-to-knows’ of both American and global issues, and the gold standard Heritage perspective always cuts through the dross of the general pop-narrative. Keep it up Michelle, Tim, and Heritage Team!

I’m not really a podcast person, but I think this one is really informative and worth my time! I love that they bring on qualified experts and use facts and statistics as they examine relevant topics. The information is presented clearly and an interesting way with notes for further research. 10/10 recommend. Thank y’all for the work you put into this! I really appreciate it!

Great content and presentation. Keep up the good work!

I love the wide range of topics you present. Keep it up!

In-depth explanations and background to go along with all the headlines you’ve read recently

A very necessary and succinct discussion of the rise of antisemitism and Jew hatred. Keep up the attention on this unique, annihilationist bigotry.

This podcast has a high return on investment. A few minutes each week keeps me informed about issues impacting the US and the world. So grateful for it! Thank you Heritage!

I am learning a lot about current events and their affects on America. I am 81 and I’m gaining understanding. It’s never too late to keep learning.

What a great service of perfect length to augment my busy schedule and keep me informed as I go about my day. I have now traded the mindless drudgery of driving to and from the office for concise, informative experience about news and issues from a conservative perspective. Thank you Heritage Explains!

I learned more listening to just three episodes than I have reading theSkimm for two years. They really just stick to the facts. I love that they go deep on pertinent topics, but the episodes aren't too long. The questions the interviewers ask are on point. I am totally going to have my kids listen to this when they get older. So informative!

I love how Heritage Explains goes deep on one current topic, using professional journalism and reliable experts to inform and educate. A great way to get up-to-speed on current issues!
