I’ve been listening to congressional dish for years and it’s the ONLY podcast I listen to to get facts about what’s really going on in congress. No matter what political party you belong to, this podcast is for you because facts are facts and those are hard to come by in the media.

It seems like all of our knowledge of congress comes from polarized, corrupt, and deceitful sources that twist facts or only report on events /information that will persuade viewers to think or vote a certain way or they only report the big newsworthy stuff. There’s so much more stuff IMPORTANT stuff that’s going on in congress that isn’t being shared with us in the news. Because of this, I’ve always been reluctant to get involved or informed with congress or politics. Congressional dish is the first podcast that I’ve actually trusted and it’s extremely entertaining to listen to. She doesn’t accept money from political groups that seek to gain control of what can and can’t be said about what goes on in congress and she ALWAYS gives you her sources. She’s honest and gives you the facts, her thoughts, and tells you that you don’t have to take her word for it or share her opinions. Because of Jennifer Briney (the host) I took elective courses in political science FOR FUN in undergrad to learn more about congress so that I can be an informed voter. Now that I’m in medical school, I hope I can use my platform to share this podcast with everyone I know with the hope that one day this country will be composed of more informed citizens and voters. Also it’s the least I can do because this podcast is such an INVALUABLE resource. Listen to it. I swear you won’t be sorry! Thank you Jennifer Briney and Congressional Dish!

This podcast does reasonably deep dives into business before the Congress and hearings in the Congress. The show notes are exhaustive and provide complete citations for every disturbing thing you hear spoken to, and spoken by, our elected representatives. If I had one complaint, it would be that they aren't deep enough dives, as, personally, I feel that many of these issues/episodes could be expanded to 2 or 3 hours easily...

That said, Jen's 'take' is often considerably more 'left of center', but her liberalism is definitely very classical, and she clearly deliniates 'her opinion' from the facts about what is being said, and the responses before the Congress. She is ALSO, harsh to BOTH parties, so, if you are a die-hard partisan on Team Red OR Team Blue, you WILL find some of her opinions offered quite objectionable. Personally, I share this trait, so I find it quite endearing. 🤷‍♂️

bottom line? An EXCELLENT, well reasoned, well researched podcast, which I look forward to listening to, even when the title sounds like it's going to be boring af. It adds value to my life.

Best podcast found for the policy wonks among us.
