    Opus is such an important boom & not a moment too soon…
    Please consider having Sarah Kendzior on your podcast and the Five 8. Pretty please. Previous comments: Best song yet! “Should I Stay Or Should I Flee” is genius! Well done, sir.

    Disappointing
    Olear has great guests and great analysis on his own part, not to mention hilarious satirical commercials. So why only 3 stars? His utter and dripping disdain for anyone younger than himself any time Millennials, Gen Z, etc. come up. Seriously Greg, use your BetterHelp you advertise and get to the bottom of why you can’t mention anyone under 50 without taking snide shots at them.

    Quote… 🙃
    In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.

    Fantastic
    This is one of my don’t miss podcasts. Candid. Informative. Pertinent to today’s chaotic world. I recommend everyone put this podcast in their regular listening routine. It will not disappoint.

    Leonard Leo must listen
    Must listen interview with journalist Tom Carter informing listeners of the terrifying reality of Leonard Leo, dark money, and the influence of deeply entrenched right wing religious extremists. I learned more than I wanted to know. Vote BLUE, people, or we will literally be living in a christofascist hellscape.

    Wow, a FANTASTIC episode w/ Jack Bryan, Greg….I’m currently following the LG & M pod and getting more of the backstory is always interesting to me. My only criticism so to speak is, Jack is a VERY FAST talker, so some impt points may have been missed and gotta admit too, I am somewhat “hearing challenged” too, so these two things are a bad combo. However, this is minimal compared to the meat & potatoes of this interview. Thanks again for delivering such an outstanding podcast episode!!!!

    Liberal Garbage
    Don’t waster your time with this liberal garbage. Losers like Mike are still searching for Russian collusion that doesn’t exist. It’s zeros like this that continue to push totally debunked fake stories made up by democrat operatives. I’d be embarrassed if this life losers was related to me in any way. After a crooked special council, two fake impeachments and the current garbage there is zero evidence of Russian collusion. It’s all documented.

    Everything Great
    I only discovered this podcast a few episodes ago and while I turned to it for the political aspect I was especially moved by part of the novel he shared, ‘Empress, The Story of Anna K’. I am so happy I was lead to this podcast by another one where he was recently interviewed. Relevant and interesting.
  • Stef E
    Cannot love Greg anymore!

  • SLembury
    Must hear!
    Excellent independent commentary and analysis of current affairs regarding the biggest threats to our democracy. Olear features intelligent, insightful guests, and he himself is very astute when it comes to matters of national security and Russian shenanigans.

    Outstanding
    Mr. Olear is always compelling. One of the best policy podcasts I’ve heard. His latest interview with Donna Ladd of the Mississippi Free Press was great.
  • OnTelephone
    A+
    Greg is great, nice intro, too.
  • 🐝Have

    Greg is both great writer & storyteller he lets you see what he is writing about..
  • JuJu27CO
    Love the format!
    Really love the set-up, format, Greg, and guests. I do a whacky dance to the intro theme song. The June 4 episode with Zev Shalev was especially great. It was really interesting to hear more about his background. What a sweetheart.
  • Downanotch
    Incredible episode with Zev
    Wow- can’t believe Greg continues to top himself each week. The interview with Zev is such a fascinating interview and I didn't think i could appreciate Greg or Zev more but here you go. Bravo to you both.
  • ReviewForYouToo
    Wow!
    Holy sh*t! The opening monologue of your podcast today is incredible!!!! So good!!

    Aja Raden on Ep16
    Raden is a deep thinker & excellent communicator. Great episode, so much to digest! Current as well as historical, evolutionary, philosophical topics. A must-listen. I have her book “Stoned” (amazingly compelling) & will definitely buy her new one. Thanks, Greg, for all your hard work and deep-dives into important issues
  • Dr Gori 72
    A must listen
    Great shows with amazing guests. The episode with Victor Rud is a must listen to understand what is going on in the Ukraine and Russia.
  • JCASEA
    Only 1 thing…
    Smart show. Great questions. Excellent guests. Timely topics. I’m a fan. One thing: please please please turn off whatever notification is dinging in the background. My earbuds pick it up and it’s simply awful to hear.

    Great Pod
    Very good Podcast- I really enjoy it.
  • nigey&jack
    Respect
    I’m sure I’m not the only listener who likes Bernie or voted For Elizabeth Warren. A lot less bashing of those 2 would be appreciated. Stick to the policies please and thank you.
  • SheaMMMMM
    Excellent
    Smart discussion every single episode. Love it!
  • SprawlMaven
    Stranger than fiction, but well researched
    Impressively detailed, with a very strong ‘truth is far stranger than fiction’ vibe. A great way to gain insight into current events.

    Greg has kept me sane
    When Trump was elected, I basically said “What in the actual f*ck just happened” fully knowing he was a shady character in NY. In my hunt to find out what just happened, I came across Greg on Twitter and his book Dirty Rubles, and it helped shed some light on the insanity. (Lincoln’s Bible has also been an informative follow and they have both led me to other resources of information.) Turns out, he was right on basically everything as the Mueller report and Vol. 5 of the Intelligence Commitee have reported, as well as other reports that have come to light. I subscribe to Greg’s Prevail and was ecstatic to find he’s now Podcasting. Podcasts have been great in the time of covid. Anyway, I love his writing, his interviews, and now his podcast. He has kept me sane and I truly appreciate the ways in which he presents the facts. And yes, we shall prevail.

    FAVORITE PODCAST
    Great Podcast!! The work and research put into your podcast are just the best. Love listening to Greg and Lincoln's Bible!! I look forward to every episode. Also catch you guys on Narativ as well. You all got us through the most difficult time in our country. You guys helped save our sanity, and gave us hope that the crimes we all could see would some day come out, and there may even be some justice. Thank you!! Keep up the great work, I look forward to hearing more from you!!

    One of the best
    Not only are Prevail emails a welcome addition to my inbox, I have added listening to Greg Olear a priority each week. Thanks for the timely, thoughtful and insightful discussions!

  • JJ lab rat
    Republicans should listen!
    I was pleasantly surprised by the Scaramucci interview. This kind of logical, fact driven, non hate-based Republican ideology would save the party and strengthen US politics. He calls out a lot of the problems with both parties’ extremes and does so while being honest about his own roots and motivations. Hope Olear can continue to get these great conversations.

    Deeper Analysis Dives
    *THE BEST* Greg Olear’s podcasts, Twitter threads & articles on Prevail are the deep dives & analysis I’m always yearning for!!! ... Greg delivers the how & WHY often left by other Trumpian writers for their readers to infer. All while Greg fabulously injects wry hilarious snark , rage and a true interest in interactions with his followers.

    Great information about his finances. Is the answer to the question Leonard Leo?

    Greg’s written pieces on Prevail are the best I’ve seen on the topic of Trumpism. If they were songs, he’d be Springsteen. Lee M

    Interesting podcaster
    Olear is a good interviewer and speaker. I’ve read his work before and his podcasts are a welcome added step in increasing my enjoyment of him.
  • Genevieveisgg
    Great show! So glad to see you have a podcast.
    Greg is always straightforward and current. He's not afraid to report on any subject, which is so badly needed with all the disinformation we have today. "Follow the Money". We need honest journalistic reporting and he's one of the best around.
  • Tfantasia
    Excellent
    I’ve been reading and listening to Greg for years. His research is vast and commentary is so incredibly thorough. I thought I had heard it all, having immersed myself in all things political over the years, but I always learn so much when I read Greg’s material or hear his interviews. So happy he’s finally got his own podcast and this first episode did not disappoint!!!! Can’t wait to hear more. Thank you!
  • RichRant
    Not Just for the Eyes, But Now the Ears
    Greg is a fierce and insightful writer. My eyes have been fortunate enough to take in his words and wisdom for years. I’m so delighted my ears can now bask in the stereophonic wonders of his podcast.
