I used to love this show and they actually had on some left-leaning pundits who would fight back. I remember when Christine Emba told some pompous right wing... who tried to mansplain to her about Black lives matter, how wrong he was and put him in his place. They don't do that anymore. You should just call it hard right, right and vaguely left of center.

Left Right and Center was my preffered political podcast for several years, but with the changes in panelists and moderators, I feel the impartiality of the viewpoint advanced has been lost for the last 2 years.

I love your show but you lean too far to the right. You're supposed to be equally balanced, but you often let the pundit on the right control the narrative. please balance it out. There have been some admittedly well thought out topics.

Center, far right, and right

I find the civilized conversation refreshing. If you are far right or far left, this will not be for you. The panel is normally a Center Right, Center Left, and a Centrist. I fall in that wheelhouse though so this is excellent conversation for me.

Christine is a pathetic representation of the left.

I had to unsubscribe. It was always clear the moderator was liberal, which is fine, but if you're putting out what's called a balanced podcast I shouldn't be able to tell your affiliation. The new woman on here is incapable of even appearing to have a reason mindset. Her hatred of me and anyone else who is conservative is so clear all the time I just can't listen. I would love to hear an actual reasoned balanced podcast on these issues with someone who isn't so much better than me in her own mind.

radical left, hard left, and moderate left, trying to pass itself off as even/bipartisan. nothing could be further from the truth.

Finally a politics podcast that's more than just opinions, partisan talking points, and bickering. Actual intelligent conversation!

Quid pro Quo episode - poorly conducted! Although I disagree with Rich I want to hear what he has to say. Stop interrupting him, Ms Lopez

Fantastic show, about as balanced as a political show can be. Rich Lowry is insufferable more often than not though.
